 I believe it would be useful for developers to add a few of the core
 functions of wordpress into JavaScript. For instance, I find myself
 needing the site url often. I know there are a few JS contants wordpress
 provides, like ajax_url ( and I believe the site url is also available),
 but to put these into a format like php would be useful.

 Example:

 <script>

 function bloginfo(s)
 {
   if(!s)s = "wpurl";
   this.wpurl = "<?php bloginfo("wpurl"); ?>";

   return this[s];

 }

 console.log(bloginfo("wpurl"));

 </script>

 This file could easily be generated and included into the wordpress head
 so that at least basic data can be retrieved in a similar manner in both
 JavaScript and PHP. If there is any interest in this at all I would be
 happy to help come up with the full solution.
