This project is awesome. Why? Because, if it succeeds, it means that a huge amount of open-source, hackable JavaScript written for the open web has another way[1] into a proprietary runtime. Depending on how the cross compilation occurs, it could avoid a lot of the inevitable performance degradation PhoneGap imposes.

My enthusiasm is muted, however, with the knowledge of how young this project is. There's a lot of work to do - implementing javascript platform methods (e.g. String.subtr(), etc) alone will be a lot of work.

I'd also be curious to know how the author will be able to deal with meta-programming in general, and eval() in particular.

[1] The other way is via WebView and/or something like PhoneGap[2]
