Most disappointing part of most -> js languages is that they adopt the async nature of JavaScript, thus making them pretty dissimilar from their native environments. Is it that difficult to rewrite a sync workflow to an async one by the interpreter?
Not CoffeeScript - I want to be able to write Ruby that manipulates DOM objects.

I do like the idea, but it inevitably suffers from the same flaw that afflicts all other compile-to-js libraries: making sense of errors will still require knowledge of how the underlying javascript works. Perhaps a development plugin for Chrome would allow debugging in python?
I love this. I wish someone would do this for Ruby. Not CoffeeScript - I want to be able to write Ruby that manipulates DOM objects.

Why is it absurd?
Noscript seems like a fetish with some people and almost always it seems they expect the rest of us to accomodate their fetish.
Python is great for some stuff, but let JS do what it does.

That's a silly complaint. Doesn't every language designer feel that their product is better than the thing it desires to replace?
A better question: Is python really any better than JavaScript? Sure, it has advantages here and there. But there are things I like about JavaScript that are better than python. For example, having anonymous functions that are more than a single expression inside a lambda. Yes, I know you can declare a function inside another and you get a closure. But, JavaScript's syntax is just nicer.
