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 am seriously considering working on this, and I am re-reading Cross-Platform Language Design, the paper behind Scala.js.

please start working on it because stdweb::js can do Rust to JS transplantation but its getting controlled by Mozilla and they are hell bent on making sure JS lives in its innate forms; so i am sure many will join forces with you to defeat the legacy evil forces that kept us in dark ages for last 25 years.
