I wonder if it's possible for TypeScript to be a .NET CLR supported language. It would be great to have a powerful scripting language for the .NET Ecosystem.

I know C# can be used for scripting, but I want something like Python, an easy to use, dynamic language that has the performance of the .NET VM

YMMV but I think F# fills that gap nicely

F# is interesting but still pretty different from TypeScript.

creator of TS was a maintainer of F# at microsoft when he created it. I see lots of parallels in the type systems.
