Automatic conversion from C# to Jurassic JavaScript about jurassic HOT 2 OPEN

It's probably not too difficult to convert the core C# language to JavaScript. (Harder than C# to VB.NET mind you.) But converting the .NET base class libraries (BCL) to the equivalent JavaScript standard library functions is basically an impossible task, because a) the BCL is huge, and b) there's lots of BCL functionality that simply doesn't exist in JavaScript. It might be possible if you restrict yourself to a subset of the BCL though.

Indeed, the BCL is huge. I guess something more manageable will be as a default to use the BCL types/classes directly in the generated Jurassic code, and try to convert to pure JavaScript only some basic stuff.

Probably the code translator should be able to generate working JS code in plenty of scenarios, assuming there is available a helper function getClrType that can be used like this:

var File = getClrType('System.IO.File');
File.WriteAllText('C:\temp\test.txt', 'test');
