Yes, JS is the first working target. The 'ML' in ATS3-ML is used in rather a loose sense.
By ML, I basically refer to a language that supports function closures and recursive datatypes/pattern matching. This is a broad category. ATS3-ML should readily be able to be compiled to any ML-like languages that I can think of. I may change the name ATS3-ML to ATS3-CML to reflect the fact that this language supports flat data representation (in contrast to the boxed data representation used by ML-like languages). Cheers!
