.NET Forum / Languages / JScript / March 2008Is JScript still around?
I don't get it.. Didn't Microsoft end JScript? Why is it considered a DotNet language? Is this different than JSharp? Either way-- MS doesn't do java any more right? Can we get this group archived? THanks -Aaron > I don't get it.. Didn't Microsoft end JScript? Nope. > Why is it considered a DotNet language? Because MS have provided JScript.NET which extends the original JScript and has provided a compilier that creates IL code from it. > Is this different than JSharp? Yes. JSharp was intended to be Java compatible however MS have dropped it. > Either way-- MS doesn't do java any more right? Right it doesn't > Can we get this group archived? I can't see any reason for that apart from the limited traffic here.  SignatureAnthony Jones - MVP ASP/ASP.NET Aaron, JScript has become the defacto language for web browsers, beating out VBScript on the client side. MS has even enhanced the JScript integration in VS 2008 to include debugging scripts. Mike Ober. >I don't get it..

Uhm....there is a difference between JScript.NET and classic "JScript," the client-side interpreted language which is Microsoft's implimentation of the language that began as LiveScript and is currently designated ECMAScript. Besides syntatical differences, the core of the matter is JScript.NET is compiled into IL (Intermediate Language) that is run within the .NET runtime. While Microsoft continues to provide coding examples in JScript.NET in their documentation, they have not fully integrated language support for JScript.NET into their world-class IDE (VS2008), signalling to many people that JScript.NET is not the language to use for new development.
