Ask HN: feedback on early version of tool: ECMAScript 4 - JavaScript translator

Hi, I have developed this tool which makes ECMAScript 4 (the upcoming next version of JavaScript) usable today. Or at least usable when the spec is finished.

I am pretty confident in the utility of the tool, but I would really like some advice from people who have tried to market this kind of developer tools. How easy is it to sell something like this commercially, when competition like GWT is free?

Also, if anyone have advice about marketing. I hear that blogging might be a good way of marketing towards developers, however time spent blogging would count from time spent developing the tool, so I wonder if it would be a sensible trade-off.
