Just had a look at CoffeeScript
http://coffeescript.org/

It appears to be mostly a candygrammar for JavaScript, designed to give it a more 
functional feel.

And what about MiniD?

Moreover, it seems that getting a new scripting language implemented in web browsers isn't 
going to be easy.  But it seems that language-to-JS compilers would work as long as the 
language's concepts are readily and efficiently implementable in JS.
