Mini-summary of my experience: You're still stuck with JS semantics,
and it can be a little odd when you confuse what level of code
+1, better cabal support for UHC's JS backend would be a big win.

You mention about contacting but I think it's better to keep the discussion

Maybe I'll sound like an overused meme, but what about JQuery? JQuery
already takes a combinator-like approach to Javascript and DOM
manipulations, so maybe we could have a combinator library that would
mimic the JQuery library. We'd obviously need some extra combinators

Doesn't sound overused to me. FWIW, one of the ideas floating around
in my head is exactly what you're describing.

This is obviously a great concept. However, it may not be appropriate
for a GSoC. The design space is far too open, and it is not clear if
anything in that space will end up beating plain old javascript.

this is putting the cart
I agree with you that maybe this proposal is vague for a GSoC, but I don't
think that websockets is a good option either, because not all browsers
support them. Indeed, web development has gone a long way without contant
communication with the server and I think Haskell should support this way

I'm really looking forward to helping in the Summer of Code, if Haskell

My idea would be reusing some of the already-available tools for compiling
Haskell to JS (for example, UHC), and develop with any of them a complete
library for client-side scripting; rather that redevelop a way to compile
Haskell to JS.
I think it's really a pity not being able to use things
My first impression on this is that it seems a little vague, but
possibly promising.
I'd make it clearer that you plan to contribute to the existing UHC
stuff. A first glance left me with the impression that you wanted to
re-implement a JavaScript back end, which would of course be a
non-starter
My issue isn't that you'd need to develop a new set of tools. I just
think that using a library approach would allow us to generate more
comprehensible code. Hopefully, we could still reuse datatypes, and do
lots of other fun stuff. For example, if we used aeson's
