+1 to this.

These days I do Objective C, but I still love AS3 & the Flash API. I just wish browsers would implement it natively (a JS version of the API), as opposed to the HTML canvas and (currently) flaky support for audio.

Check out Haxe and the library NME, which is pretty much what you describe.
except its not... :) I`m mean it suppose to be but its not
Where does Haxe fall down for you? Not many people I know have ever looked back after using it.
I`m not talking about haxe in genereal. I have nothing against it. I`m talking about the idea of NME which is really nice but would fail in many (higher performance visuals) cases when it comes to javascript/canvas.
