Sorry, but I rather would stick with Michael's statement.

I don't have a direct use case for pas2js myself yet, but I would see 
its use in being able to to reuse as much of my existing Pascal code 
that runs natively in an application that runs in a web browser.

There is no point in shoehorning pas2js into "resembling Javascript". If 
you want that, you can use Javascript directly, no need to transpile 
from Pascal into Javascript. This would be IMHO just a waste of 
everybody's time, energy and resources...
