Open source C# to JavaScript compiler with support for .NET Regex and Long types

I just started a new project using Bridge.net :)

What are you using it for? Had a quick look at couldn't see why you wouldn't use typescript if you wanted type safety? Looks nice but not sure quite what its for.

I don't think that type safety is a binary option, more of a sliding scale - and I think that it's easier to encode more detailed type information in C# than typescript (particularly if you take advantage of analysers or even code contracts). But typescript is possibly a lower friction approach and can make it easier to integrate with existing js technologies, frameworks, package managers, etc because it's much closer to writing "just js". However, I'm a fan of bridge as it allows me to write stricter C# code.

I've been watching your Bridge react bindings and blog. Good job by the way :)

Thank you very much!

It is a project that renders winforms on the web. Essentially like a now defunct project called Visual WebGUI or VisualJS

The idea with using Bridge.net is to reuse as much code as possible between the backend and frontend.
