On: NetJs: A .NET to TypeScript and JavaScript compiler

The day I can write C# on both the server and client, instead of js with Node.js, I'll be soooo happy.

You can use WebSharper and get it with F#. It even has commercial backing. Comes with a neat little RPC system so you can effortlessly decide which code runs where.

There were also other projects that allowed this with C#, I just forget their names.

Oh man, that would hit right the spot!

Is not exactly this the universal(or something so) .NET platform new promise?

I don't think so. It failed with Silverlight, and was nasty with ASP.NET webforms. Microsoft now champions ASP.NET MVC on the server and TypeScript on the client. They also use TypeScript to write huge JavaScript apps for consumers.
