Efficiency and ease of debugging? Just because it's possible to transpile to JS doesn't mean the resulting code will be fast/responsive or easy to debug. Which in turn means it won't be used for significant projects.

Transport compression is required and saves bandwidth, but decompression before parsing hurts."
