Bytecode is a *bad* idea - all they ever do is reduce our ability to reason about, secure, and optimize code. Bytecodes have not achieved proposed cross-language benefits - i.e. they tend to be very language specific anyway, so you might as well compile to an intermediate application language. If you want compiled JavaScript, try Google's "Closure" compiler (JavaScript -> JavaScript). But I do agree that JavaScript is not an ideal target for compilation!
