Is there an easy way to embed a Javascript interpreter in a C# application?

Is there an easy way to embed Javascript in a C# application?

I want to make my C# application scriptable.

I have used Lua for this in the past but would like to use Javascript in this instance. LuaInterface is a nice C# wrapper for the C Lua API and it made it really easy to embed Lua in C# and a lot less painful than writing a Managed C++ wrapper for the Lua API (I have tried that as well).

Are there any C# libraries around for embedding Javascript that are as easy to use as LuaInterface?

You may consider working with the DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime).

Managed JScript is built on the top of DLR (can't insert second link as I'm a new user):
