Anyone using IronJS yet?

Question

I'm just wondering if there is anyone else using IronJS within their apps yet?

IronJS is really awesome as it's JavaScript on the DLR. Personally, I've been waiting to be able to write both server-side and client-side code in ASP.NET / ASP.NET MVC using JavaScript. It's too bad Microsoft abandoned Managed JScript, but no worries since IronJS is really showing promise.

I am wondering if anyone has started using it in any of their apps yet?

Lately, I've been playing around a little bit with adding the ability to code ASP.NET MVC Controller Actions in JavaScript using IronJS.

Had exactly same idea :) - very interested. – Alexander Beletsky Aug 25 '11 at 06:15 — Alexander Beletsky, Aug 25 '11 at 06:15

As a developer on the IronJS, I have to say that I am using it. :)

However, most of my work has been running command-line projects like CoffeeScript (which works, 100%) and Uglify.js (which is not quite working).

If you find any rough edges, please post them on the GitHub bug tracker. I will also be watching the IronJS tag here on SO, to help with any Q/A style requests.

I've been playing around with integrating ASP.NET MVC and IronJS, and the result is the new IronJSMVC project. If you are interested in IronJS, then you'll probably be interested in IronJSMVC.

It's still in a very early prototype stage (at the time of posting this) and not meant for production use just yet. But don't let that scare you away from checking it out.

I actually played a bit with in my DynamicPad project https://github.com/khebbie/Dynamicpad/

But decided on using IronRuby since it's more mature

By the way I also had some fun playing with IronJs in linqPad https://gist.github.com/1256505
