JScript .NET:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/jscript7/html/jsorijscript.asp
My whole experience with .NET is related instead to mono. But what is possible
in one, should be possible in the other, surely. Mono has a rather impressive
list of supported languages at:
http://www.mono-project.com/Languages
It's a shame Perl's not on there, although I had previously thought it was due
to their FAQ:
Windows has compilers that target the virtual machine from a number of
languages: (http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/thirdparty/default.asp#lang)
Managed C++, Java Script, Eiffel, Component Pascal, APL, Cobol, Perl,
Python, Scheme, Smalltalk, Standard ML, Haskell, Mercury and Oberon.
Not quite sure what to make of that.
