You don't compile to js because js is slow.

edit: for the record, I think having only one doc type (html) and only one scripting language (js) in the browser is a terrible idea.

I don't know what the other doc types and programming languages should be but performance alone seems like a poor idea. A compile target seems even worse. :)
