The first thing that you do not know is that there is no Javascript: 
<http://PointedEars.de/es-matrix>

I would consider this basic knowledge a prerequisite to writing anything 
that generates code that can be executed in a subset of sufficiently 
conforming implementations of ECMAScript.

And why should anyone run the risk of executing malware when executing your 
anonymously published binary?  Where is your source code?

I could probably do the same on *x (that includes Mac OS X) with a simple 
shell script (sed(1) comes to mind).  But a language “translator” does not 
necessarily create good code.  As you should know, there are things in 
Python that you would do quite differently in other programming languages 
because Python by comparison is very expressive indeed and has a big runtime 
library – approaches that are called “pythonic” because of that.  For a 
start, ECMAScript implementations do not need to include an output mechanism 
as Python does; something like Python's “print(…)” is provided by the 
respective runtime environment instead.
