Script#

As the original c# to JavaScript compiler, Script# lets you write HTML5 and Node.js applications in C# and compile them into plain old JavaScript.

@KDSBest mostly be selective about dependencies ... restrict yourself to what you have in JavaScript.

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@KDSBest @nikhilk in general, the goal has never been to enable both js and .bet dev from the same source, but possible with care.

@JasonMacEntee afaik, current versions of office on web, sharepoint, dynamics, bing maps etc. were built via script#. Also, I think tableau.

@web_bod posted an answer ... hopefully it helps.

Mostly a prototype for some backend-as-a-service ideas, this serves as a script# example for authoring a node.js app https://t.co/KHQabP3pR3

[Script# @scriptsharp]

New import libraries added for your script#-based nodejs apps: restify (thx @theoutlander) and azure. Check em out: https://t.co/LR5osC2LER

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@KallDrexx you can use anonymous delegates.

[Script# @scriptsharp]

If you use script#, please chime in with your thoughts on the topic of import libraries over on github: https://t.co/vcxjqPyP ... thanks!

@NZxRMGuy awesome to hear. Understand. This sort of overhaul was quite overdue. Had to bite the bullet. What are you guys building? Public?

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy though the AMD pattern is really goodness, and hence I don't make it easy out-of-the-box. :)

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy now, I can safely say, I did think through how you'd escape the AMD pattern if you wanted to (I did think most of it in advance).

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy this is mostly a vs intellisense + AMD pattern question. See this gist for an equivalent sample: https://t.co/cqonoR7I

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy tried sample of AMD style script, intellisense work s fine. Just add module object to a global, since you aren't using require.

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy see https://t.co/WmiY6BCX ... if you don't have an AMD loader, ss.js registers into the global namespace.

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy (cont'd) i.e. there is no $. On intellisense, how does vs deal with AMD pattern in general? TypeScript requires .d.ts files.

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy eg (see https://t.co/23fBaB3c) ... "flickr" module with type named "FlickrPhotoService" - accessed as flickr.FlickrPhotoService.

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy yep, hear you. Hopefully, module pattern is good for future external use. New stuff is nuget based. Side-by-side at least helps.

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy finally, ss.js is smaller than mscorlib.js as an added benefit.

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy changes (AMD output + ss.js as a module) gets script closer to modern scripting patterns: more minimizable, and no global impact.

[Script# @scriptsharp]

@NZxRMGuy if your base app has mscorlib.js, then it was written with script# as well. That can't be moved to 0.8 as well?
