Here's what Anders thinks about C# to js cross compilation at about 2m 20s into this interview at Build. http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2014/9-010 http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2014/9-010 "That is darn near impossible to do with any level of fidelity that is meaningful" "If you're going to write for the web, write for the web."

Perhaps he's biased because he made TypeScript? Then again, this is from the main guy behind C#. The language that chose "delegate" as it's lambda keyword (fixed it later at least), decided tuples aren't worth supporting, went with C-style optional parameters after years of promoting overloads instead (both terrible ideas), and barely has type inference. (Just a few things that popped in the top of my mind.) Write for the web seems like a lame excuse to not embrace better languages and deal with the issues in cross compilation.
