RE: Re: C# scripting

   Like all other .CLR languages, JScript.NET is compiled into MSIL, which is JIT-compiled into native code.
 
   While it's true that you could use any .NET language to "script", Lua and Python offers some nice features that no CLR language can offer today. On the other hand, it lacks some things which are useful in a CLR environment (strong typing and static checks for example).

JIT?  Isn't JScript.NET compiled down into native code?

Pick a language:

There's gotta be one that you like and will compile to native code if
you need it to.
