What Hacker News says
4 sourcesInvestigate a possibility to support JSX | https://github.com/bridgedotnet/Bridge/issues/808
Bridge.NET translates C# to JavaScript, but JSX is not currently supported.
In Mono and WebAssembly – Updates on Static CompilationThere are a couple partial .NET runtimes reimplemented in JavaScript rather than compiled to WebAssembly; they are usually tied in with C# -> JavaScript generators.
https://github.com/nikhilk/scriptsharp was kind of the granddaddy of them all, with no updates since 2013.
https://github.com/bridgedotnet/Bridge Saltarelle was acquired by Bridge.NET mid-2015: https://blog.bridge.net/bridge-net-acquires-saltarelle-c77a9... and seems to be going strong.
https://github.com/SharpKit/SharpKit went the other way and is now open source, but original L/GPL/references to licensing for commercial use may have limited growth; it is now MIT.
http://jsil.org/ mostly demonstrates games, and focuses on translating MSIL bytecode rather than any specific language or runtime.
In DotNetAnywhere: An Alternative .NET RuntimeFWIW, C# also has compiled into native executables/libs for many years via `mkbundle`[1] and into JS via several projects like Bridge.NET [2].
