I would like to reach a point in web programming where JS, or something that eventually compiles into JS doesn't have to be written or maintained explicitly. GWT comes to mind, and this does something similar with Ruby it seems. Interesting take for sure...
There's plenty of flavors of JS that compile into regular JS. Pair that with Node.js and you've pretty much got what you're asking for. There's plenty of people using CoffeeScript on server + client, for example.

Clojure + Clojurescript come to mind as well.
