I think the tools fill different purposes, so integration with JSIL is absolutely a possibility in the future. I did not do any speed comparisons, I just translate what you write in C# to the equivalent script, so if you write a fast script

SharpKit is only free as long as you want to use it for projects that don't need it (the limit is like 2k lines or something). When I last tried it I was not very happy with the code it generated. Additionally, it uses the standard mscorlib

Java has been said to be a DSL to convert XML configuration into stack traces. But what does this have to do with compiling C# to Javascript?

JSIL is also great, but its philosophy is that yo write .net code and run it in the browser, whereas Saltarelle's (and Script#'s) is that you write Javascript but with better tools. Also, the script that JSIL generates is very far from what

It comes with metadata for jQuery and jQueryUI, so obviously those libs can be used. I know of people using Node as well (and I hope to include that import lib in the distribution at some point). As for porting an existing C# application, i

You can use the Chrome debugger just as if you had written the Javascript directly.
