GHCJS - Haskell in the Browser

No. Automatic tail call elimination can't be implemented without breaking JS semantics.

Manual tail calls can perfectly well be implemented without breaking anything.

Yes, add goto. If JS is going to be the "assembly language of the web", it needs a general branch construct or it will suck.
