My understanding of Elisp as web extension language is nothing close
to compiling Elisp to Javascript. This brings little advantage
of Elisp — roughly summarized as “a reflexive programming
environment. We lose the ability to dynamically and interactively
extending the program if we have to run compilation/translation
on Elisp to get JS and then feed to the Webkit.

Does this mean basically a website serving Emacs Lisp program?
That’s good, or more conservatively, serving HTML documents
with embedded Emacs Lisp code (basically as a replacement for
JS), so while the website can have UI designed for Emacs,
when user access it from other browser/program they still get the contents.
