JavaScript has, without doubt, the most vibrant ecosystem out there. There are gazillions of new frameworks released every month (http://ift.tt/1qYzUdS).
As a C# developer - even with a great, active C# community - you may sometimes find yourself a little bit jealous.
What if we could bring the JavaScript language and ecosystem also into the C# world? What if a C# developer could use JavaScript inside C#?

Fret not! I'm thrilled to announce a new WinRT project I've created - ChakraBridge - which will allow you to get invited to the party like any web developers.
Indeed, thanks to Chakra (the JavaScript engine used by Microsoft Edge), it is now possible to host one of the fastest JavaScript engines (and also the one with the highest support of ECMAScript 6) inside any Universal Windows Platform application. ChakraBridge embeds Chakra engine in a WinRT application and provides all required high level tools to use it seamlessly in a C# / UWP application.
People developing a HTML/JS/CSS based UWP App (WWA or hosted app in the old world) don't need to host Chakra separately as it's already a part of the sandbox.
How to Use It?
This is pretty simple: just head to http://ift.tt/1GilXCV and clone the project to your hard drive.
Now you have two options: you can either add the ChakraBridge project (which is a WinRT library) in your solution or you can reference ChakraBridge.winmd from /dist folder.
