JASS - is it possible to link to other languages

[Baxter]

Is it possible to write code in another compiler (e.g. VB.net, PASCAL or C/C++) and then import the code into the World Editor or another JASS compiling programme?

Sadly no. At least not directly. But there are some parsers that allow you to code with a syntax similar to other coding languages.
JASS NewGen Pack -- Allows use of vJASS.
ZINC -- Download NewGen to use Zinc.
cJASS -- Also requires NewGen.

 

[Baxter]

are they they the indirect ways? or are there others?

Well, I don't use cJASS or ZINC so I am not sure how close the syntax is. I am not sure if you can directly put the code from a C compiler into WE and have it compile properly. I am pretty sure that TESH (Trigger Editor Syntax Highlighting) will give you good enough of an interface, as well as a function list. The cJASS people also made a project Horus (in the link I provided) which updates TESH to highlight the cJASS properly.
