Is there any bridge between JS and native code? Yes, I know it is hard to support development and debugging of a hybrid of script and native code, but regarding battery life and computation intensive apps, JS is not an option. Unless this OS is for really low end phones.

What makes you think that? Android runs non-native apps and the battery life can be very good (depending mostly on hardware of course).

You seem to assume an existential difference between "native" and "not-native" that does not actually exist. Is Objective C native? Not yet. Is the ARM executable native? Yes. Is javascript native? No. Is the executable code generated by the jit native? Yes.
