Abstract

The primary goal of the jsc project is to unify syntax of multiple languages choosing c# as a base language.

Given that a c# project is specially instrumented and  built with the latest microsoft c# compiler, the jsc project will apply IL analysis to detect high level language building blocks.

A back end will produce source code in the required language.

Some native backends are part of the jsc project:

• javascript 
• actionscript 
• java
• php 

The jsc project will not support the conversion of arbitary assemblies which were not built jsc in mind.

Some important features to be supported:

• operators
• properties
• delegates
• generics 
• enumerators 
• anonymous types
• linq with objects 

A secondary goal is to provide a third party developer the possibility to extend jsc with its own implementation of a language backend. 

Scope

The end-users of the jsc compiler will be the software developers.

Vision 

• Create  java games within c# environment.
• Create javascript powered applications within c# environment 

Status

A working proof of concept is online and availible for download at http://jsc.sourceforge.net
