Please, stop adding layers above layers! :-P (*). By the way, the target  
is not only mobile, it's anything.

(*) and Google's Java to JS is a mess, and I know no good one, others are  
not better, typically another nth script language whose purpose is to be  
translatable to JS and optionally PHP or others, always with the same  
issues as with all scripting languages: no typing, not proper modularity,  
no “smart linking” (ending in nnnKb files for simple things), the “every  
thing is a class” trap, scale very badly (OK for tiny stuff, but when  
serious things begins, you have very hard times), and etc.
