I don't know... not really convinced here. All of this sounds awfully familiar to GWT - just for .NET. And we all know the fate GWT has met. It struggled with API compatibility ("Use full Java! ... except..."), the server restarts were a pain (just to see a minor UI change you had to restart the whole thing) and HTML integration was not nearly on the same level as it is in "native" JavaScript.

I would prefer C# over JavaScript any day so it would be nice to see this succeed at large, but I wouldn't bet on it.
