i use scheme-like syntax to write c and javascript, and i do this with two transpilers that ive recently revised. you might have looked at sc and sescript in the past, but what ive changed now is that i removed features that dont map directly to a single c syntax form and straightened things out to really make the output as if originally written in the target language (albeit unformatted).

sometimes i wondered if the number of round brackets is a bit much for the imperative style of c and javascript and if a coffeescript-style indent-based syntax would be better suited. but the simplicity, structural editing and reading speed im used to with scheme make up for it. an interesting thing ive found is that i need about 50 test cases to test ecmascript and its edge cases and 140 to test c - that says something about the complexity of these languages.
