Compiled versions of JScript have been around since day one, but hasn't been
used much. I remember early versions of XSI having the option to install
scripts in compiled form. Perhaps it'll get another look when JScript.NET
comes more into the mainstream.
Compiling a scripting language kind of defeats the purpose of having an open
and interpreted language doesn't it? By compiling a script you make the
statement performance and scalability are very important. So why handcuff
yourself with a system that exhibits rapidly diminishing returns the more
complex it becomes? Better to leave your options open and use a true
compiled language meant for the job such as C/C++ or Java.
That's my take on it.
