List of interpreters implemented in JavaScript for various languages would be also nice. I think they can be useful for educational purposes i.e. writing interactive materials on the web.

Added emscripten which to my untrained eyes seems like the place where a lot of gains can be made. You can gain a lot by removing the middleman but sometimes you can gain a lot by adding one.

WebSharper lets you compile F# to JS (it's a commercial product though.)

Two Haskell compilers (UHC and YHC) have JavaScript backends which convert their core languages to JS. I've added them to the wiki page.

This is a great list. I was just thinking about what might be out there the other day. I'm very interested in Ruby --> JS. However haven't tried them. I followed Charles Nutter's work on JRuby for a while and it seems to me that it's extremely involved to actually compile a fully functioning ruby into another language and/or bytecode.

I note that doesn't read 'good JS' or 'fast JS'. You can put me in a tutu but I won't be a prima ballerina.
