i've never heard of such a connection, fwiw.

Thanks! Has anybody used this?

Yes.  I've used haxe extensively.  Though mostly for Flash apps, I've had to dig into its JavaScript a number of times (generally when doing Flash <-> DOM interactions).  Watch out if you don't need very much JavaScript code, as even the smallest haxe script will generate a substantial amount of boilerplate JS.

I believe it's written in ocaml, so you may have some luck using it to pragmatically gen your JS, though I doubt there's much of a translation facility.

It's a pretty clean language by itself.  Very close to ECMAScript.  Its type inference is no Scala, but does a good job in the majority of cases.  Packages.  Most OO constructs.  First class functions.
