That is the goal.

Not true. There will be some JS because there are some things that should be 
JS. The goal is to make the logic of your program in a language that is more 
appropriate but still use JS libraries or create JS where it makes sense.

I think you need to re-evaluate as I believe you are wrong. The VM in the 
browsers is very consistent and in many cases much faster than Flash. In many 
cases, it is much better. There is some (minimal) fragmentation on the 
JavaScript virtual machine. There is A LOT of fragmentation on how the browsers 
render HTML and CSS. All of these other technologies fail, IMO, as they try to 
encapsulate the view and logic in one programming model. To me, the view logic 
needs to be crafted for the browsers you care to use, but the logic should 
remain 100% consistent across all of them.

should have SWF, and other output possibilities.

For me HTML/JS would be powerful to be ok with people demanding HTML5, but 
having the "advanced" solution to target Flash, mobile, etc...

* This is too new for me, but I'm learning how Haxe works and I see that they 
generates complete native projects. So you develop in Haxe and the output is 
native ios, android, flash, HTML...and so on. I think that your framework could 
fit very well in that space, what do you think?
