It's not a source -> source transformation, it's a matter of what the 
target object code is, i.e. bytecode instead of x86.

Is this gold into lead or lead into gold?



Prolly more like turkeys into chickens.
  
In the case of codes with a lot of dynamic message dispatch (Objective 
C), Firefox's new JITed trace trees actually offer the possibility of 
faster than ahead-of-time compiled native code.   Not to mention that 
LLVM (compiler toolchain of Alchemy) can do interprocedural analysis, 
which mainline GCC does not yet do.  Native code speed in a browser 
without plugins, well, that sounds pretty good to me.
