Objective-J is a programming language for web development and is used to create web applications in the Cappuccino front-end web framework.

Objective-J is a programming language for web development and was used to implement the Cappuccino Web Framework. Objective-J syntax and API is modelled after Objective-C and the language is built entirely on top of JavaScript. Programs written in Objective-J are interpreted in the client, so no compilation or plugins are required. Objective-J is a superset of JavaScript, meaning that any valid JavaScript code is also valid Objective-J code, in the same way that Objective-C is a superset of C. Objective-J is released under the LGPL.

Are there other languages than Objective-J that get "compiled" to JavaScript in the browser?

Objective-J is compiled/transformed into JavaScript directly on the browser. (This is contrast to doing this on the server, as GWT does for Java.) Has this approach been implemented for any language, other than Objective-J?

How well is Objective-J documented? Is the documentation good enough to start using it seriously?

I consider going with Objective-J, instead writing plain JavaScript. But I wonder if the documentation of the language and the frameworks is good enough, since it seems like a very young development.
