Unlike C++ JavaScript is a dynamic language.
I m just not sure it s possible for such a tool to generate descent
wrapper for JS code.
For example take the following JS code
function doSomething(o){
}
How would a tool what the type of o is. Object ? Number ? String ?
Commenting the code could be a solution (Like Closure does).
But not all JS libraries have descent comment informations.
That s why I m saying I m not sure how such a tool would work for every
given JS library.
But I might be wrong though.
