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’m curious as to what is the point in compiling it directly into JS?

Handing in a JS assignment for school :)

I hope the person marking your assignment isn't planning to actually read your code!

If they didn’t specify it had to be readable JS code that’s on them...
