GTK itself will probably never do that, because it doesn't include any sort of language-processing code (as I understand it). Adding code to GTK that could translate programs between languages would be a huge increase in complexity and scope.

However, a project like GCC could certainly do that. If someone really wanted that to happen, they could add a Javascript code generator to GCC and pair that with GTK's HTML5 backend to produce something like what you want.

Probably an easier way would be a Glade-XML to HTML5 translator (an HTML5builder instead of GTKbuilder).
