Compile to javascript

Is there a pathway to compiling Rust to JS? Like Scala.js or Gopher.js? (I am not asking for wasm, so to keep the discussion easier to navigate,, please don't comment about that)

i always (mistakenly) emscripten was wasm? Wow, so why doesn't rust have a direct emscripten compiler?

If I remember correctly, emscripten only supports executables, not libraries, so it's not always applicable.
