If we're going to run Fan over JS, this is good news: Javascript JIT for Firefox: Tracing the web describes a JIT method for dynamic languages, being incorporated into Firefox.
Yeah all the new JS engines are gonna be really great overall for webapps. Chrome (and Safari 4) scream. Now maybe vendors will turn their attention to the glaring problems with the actual language.

For Fan on .NET, a couple articles about code generation. CLR code generation with CodeDom and refly wrapper for it.
