At the very end of the blogpost the author asks why not compile C# to JavaScript, like F# (Fable) does? The author thinks that would be the best solution overall, and is surprised it has not happened yet. In fact that has happened, see JSIL (http://jsil.org/, which compiles .NET bytecode to JS) and also SharpKit (https://github.com/SharpKit/SharpKit which is built... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
There actually are several C# to JavaScript transpilers out there but none are well-maintained with a strong following (compared to Fable).

> wondering if css and svg could be used as abstraction over graphics and UI libraries There's another project called Sciter that uses CSS to target native graphics libraries: https://sciter.com > I wonder how hard it was to implement css.
