This one could actually be very useful for selectively optimising JavaScript modules by transpiling to C, optimising it, then transpiling it back with Emscripten.

For that kind of work it doesn't need to be perfect. The output doesn't even need to compile first time. It's just a way to save time by starting with a scaffold and refactoring, rather than writing from scratch.

Not sure if I'll get around to forking it anytime soon, but I've bookmarked it for future reference, as I could see myself using it in the not-too-distant future.
