Question

Is there any system/compiler/SDK/IDE that provides an ability to develop desktop applications using JavaScript?

You need some framework after all, .Net, Adobe AIR, Mozilla XUL etc. Since you're "DotNet Ninja", I thought you're interested in .Net :) — Mrchief, Aug 03 '11 at 20:48

You can use node-webkit.

It uses webkit to render the webpage and execute the Javascript, and you will have access to all the Node.js javascript API (reading/writing files, …)

You can use AppJs

Build Desktop Applications for Linux, Windows and Mac using HTML, CSS and Javascript. I'm planning to use it too.

You can use an .net application for execute javascript codes.

You can make this:

string CompilerJScript (string JSource) {
            return Microsoft.JScript.Eval.JScriptEvaluate(JSource, Microsoft.JScript.Vsa.VsaEngine.CreateEngine());
}

You need to reference the Microsoft.JScript dll assembly.

Note: don't using only keyword to reference the assembly. right click on the project in VS and choose 'Add reference'
