I stumbled upon Leaningetch in the past looking for a way to compile Java to JavaScript. This is a company that found a niche in "modernizing" old software, like, serving customers that still have mission-critical software written as a C++/MFC or even Java Applets and help them keep that software alive. There's nothing wrong with their niche, but I feel like there's a big disconnect to what could be attractive to the HN crowd.
