JScript .NET is an evolution of JavaScript, or Microsoft's JScript. It is fully backwards compatible with previous versions of JScript, while providing access to the common language runtime and .NET Framework. JScript .NET is the Microsoft implementation of the ECMA 262 language (ECMAScript -- more commonly known as JavaScript). JScript .NET is being developed in conjunction with ECMAScript Edition 4. The main additions in JScript .NET are:

Compiled code

Typed and typeless variables

Late- and early-binding

Classes (inheritance, function overloading, etc)

Packages

Cross-language support

Access to .NET Framework
