Javascript is probably unique in all commonly-used languages in not having a proper, *always used*, syntax for generating classes, functions and methods. This makes the problem *much* harder for js than it is for all other languages. Afaik, there are few if any problems with other languages. Once in a while the python importer has troubles with if statements at the top level interacting with decorators. That's about it. Tweaking the python post pass should fix this, but it's a low priority item. So yes, have at it if you will. But remember that many (most?) problems with imports can be fixed by hand in the generated @clean tree.
