[MonoDevelop] TypeScript support in MonoDevelop?

[Mike Christensen]

Yes, but then you'd need some sort of managed Interop wrapper between V8
and MonoDevelop, right?  Not sure if that's easy to do in a platform
agnostic way.

If you had a JavaScript runtime that ran under the CLR or Mono runtime, I
think everyone would just work.  But I actually have no idea what I'm
talking about, so if there's a better design then by all means.
