Venkatesh Mandalapa :
And the freaking great and interesting part is that, they have written a translator that converts MSIL to JAVASCRIPT!!!! You heard me - they freaking converted the whole .NET library and some more libraries to be compiled to Javascript! Whatever stuff you can do in C#, can be converted and executed as Javascript. So then the javascript is sent to the client side (which is supposed to be a huge file - performance at least seem to suck for right now) and executed in the browser.
