Is MS working on .Net targeting WebAssembly so that we can get delivered from the insanity of JavaScript? #85

It would be really nice to have a "SilverLight like" web development experience where we have a Xaml UI framework that replaces the DOM and code can be written in C#/F# instead of JavaScript. Is Microsoft working to make that happen with .Net and WebAssembly (or any other technology)? Thanks!

I saw today that mono is attempting the same thing. http://www.mono-project.com/news/2017/08/09/hello-webassembly/

There is also Fable (Google for f# fable). It's not Web assembly, but it's something. And since they're doing this, they could make f# compile to Web assembly (even if without the .NET Framework)
