I've not seen one, no.

But I would argue that even if one did exist, it probably wouldn't be that good. It's hard to convey the meaning of code when you're dealing with such a poetic language as JavaScript; there are just too many ways of doing similar things.

Worse still is that you can't map MT to JQ directly. They have slightly different feature-sets and each would rely on extra things being implemented.

I think you'd get a much cleaner, massively more maintainable result transcoding it yourself. It's a good opportunity to improve on the original too, which can't be a bad thing.
