Support porting of Javascript to CSharp through Jurassic - feasible? about jurassic HOT 3 CLOSED

I've done this in the past, but the generated C# is pretty horrible. Jurassic only does very basic type inference, so simple code like this:

var x = y + z;

gets turned into something like this:

object x = TypeUtilities.Add(engine.Global["y"], engine.Global["z"]);

@paulbartrum Thanks for replying. I am still trying to figure out the potential of Jurassic.
According to this discussion

These are some of the options:

• Javascript .NET : javascript to .NET dll but for old engine
• Universal-transpiler: Javascript to c# (look-like-code) Not sure how good compared to this

I am continue the discussion, perhaps this could lead to a FAQ that is part of "What Jurassic is and is not? (with regards to Javacript to Csharp converter). Thanks again for your contribution.

Jurassic is not a JS to C# converter. It is a JS engine and runtime written in C#. With some effort, you could use it to generate c# code from JS code, but without a lot of effort the generated code will be slow and ugly.

I recommend you instead use a tool which is designed for this purpose. It sounds like "Universal transpiler" is your best bet.
