What is the advantage of this over exposing Cocoa Apis to Javascript (ala JSTalk)? Seems like a lot of work to get parity with basic features like gc and standard lib (not to mention putting the onus on yourself to keep updating it as new ecmadcripts are released).

The advantage that comes to kind is that in theory if this is coffeescript-esque than libraries written in Cupertino is should be "usable" by objective-c? I haven't seen what the outputted code looks like though so I have no idea if it'll be as seamless as coffeescript <--> js.
