Have you looked at HJScript or jmacro? Any idea what you would do differently from those?
I looked at HJScript a while ago. They're imitations of JavaScript, too low level, I don't want to write JavaScript at all. I could build ontop of HJScript, though, for a standard library. But I really would like to forget about JavaScript entirely a la GWT's Java and Cappuchino's Objective-C and work in some embedded interface description language.
This reminds me of another possible solution I thought of. Maybe the nicest solution (and a lot of work) would be a new language with a compiler that targets javascript but is designed to also interact with Haskell and be tolerable to Haskellers. Like HaXe, but different..
Personally I'd rather stay within Haskell. Anyway talk is cheap, I'll chat more about this particular idea once I've actually something substantial.
