Milescript is really two things.

1. A compiler that takes a strongly-typed variation of ECMA script and reduces it to cross-browser ECMAscript
2. A CrossBrowser Utility Library (LibDom)

While I strongly applaud the effort to overcome the shortcomings of javascript with a higher level language / compiler system, I don’t find any immediate utility in the current incarnation of the software for a few reasons:

• The compiler is cumbersome and doesn’t integrate with existing IDE technologies.
• There is no debugger for the pre-compiled code.
• IDE’s aren’t yet aware of the unique restrictions on the code which reduces their usefulness
• LibDom isn’t as robust as existing javascript toolkits.

That said:  I really do admire a lot of what’s been accomplished with this software and hope that as more powerful tools are released in the future, it becomes an increasingly more valuable platform for robust AJAX development.
