This is more out of curiosity that a real requirement, but I'm wondering if it's possible to treat JavaScript as (ideally) a first-class .NET citizen, or (secondarily) have some way of invoking/interpreting pure JavaScript functions (that don't require the DOM) in a desktop setting?
Has anyone ever attempted implementing a CLR version of JavaScript? Something tugs at the back of my mind concerning this, but now that I think about it it was probably PHP, not JavaScript.

You can run JavaScript console in terminal or any command-line interface using Node. js, an open-source, platform-agnostic runtime that executes JavaScript outside a web browser.
The source code is passed through a program called a compiler, which translates it into bytecode that the machine understands and can execute. In contrast, JavaScript has no compilation step. Instead, an interpreter in the browser reads over the JavaScript code, interprets each line, and runs it.
js uses Google's V8 engine to provide JavaScript runtime and employes its own event loop using the libuv library (written in c). Node follows the same callback approach like Web APIs and works in a similar fashion as the browser.
Yes, JavaScript can be used without html. Node is another option. JavaScript was originally a web scripting language until node js was introduced.
For your second option, there's Rhino and things like it.
