Having said this, compiling code to JavaScript just feels wrong.
If you want to run the code in a browser that's basically your only
option. Good luck getting all the browser to implement support for some
new kind of language. In addition to that getting all users to update to
this version of the browser. It will never happen.
To run code in the browser the solution is simple, just code in JavaScript.
For everything else, just use the desktop instead of trying to bend a
pile of broken abstractions designed for document viewing into some kind
of application.
I used to be a big fan of web development around 10 years ago.
Nowadays, the experience of years of web development with multiple
languages and frameworks, just makes me advocate desktop applications
for what is a pile of broken abstractions full of hacks to try to mimic
the desktop across multiple browsers and operating systems.
And don't get me started to discuss about customers that only pay
projects when the web application is pixel perfect with the given
Photoshop design.
