    • Awesome, the demo is pretty slick! (unlike some other demos, it runs pretty fast on chrome, very impressive).

    • I'm impressed. Definitely an upvote.

    • This is pretty impressive. Are the any details on the C#->Javascript compiler? Any comments about Ray Cromwell's comments on the lack of suitable sound APIs for games in HTML?…

  • Impressive work on the compiler

    • Gotcha, looking at the JS. Still very impressive. Been interested in the Script# project for awhile, this looks along same lines. Good stuff.

Alternatives named

  • Emscripten (LLVM to JavaScript compiler)

    From 2 comments
    • Really nice... I found it interesting that you are with Mozilla considering the guy behind the llvm-to-javascript compiler works there too... https://github.com/kripken/emscripten

    • Nice! I've always thought emscripten is a bit annoying, as it doesn't integrate with the LLVM infrastructure, but instead re-parses everything in Python...
