JScript .NET: JScript .NET

JScript .NET is the next generation of Microsoft's implementation of the ECMA 262 language. Combining the existing feature set of "classic" JScript with the best features of class-based languages, JScript.NET gives you the best of both worlds. Improvements in JScript.NETwhich is being developed in conjunction with ECMAScript Edition 4include true compiled code, typed and typeless variables, classes (with inheritance, function overloading, property accessors, and more), packages, cross-language support, and access to the .NET Framework.

JScript.NET is a true object-oriented scripting language. Even though JScript.NET can now use classes, types, and other "industrial strength" language features for writing robust applications, it still keeps its "scripting" feel with support for typeless programming, expando functions and classes, dynamic code execution (using eval), and more.
