In theory, someone could create a common bytecode as a library. Such a library would probably use the Relooper algorithm from Emscripten (https://github.com/kripken/emscripten) and JIT the bytecode to Javascript that can then be eval'd for near Javascript-level speed.

I have been working on a fork of Clojure off-and-on that tries to improve the debugging experience (https://github.com/qbg/clojure). How do you think the stack traces could be improved?
