My understanding is that JSON is a subset of ECMAscript, so if you get
the latter you already have the former.  Now, someone would have to
check if plscheme still build with guile-2.0, and given that, how
exactly you get pl/ecmascript (or pl/js) out of that.

I won't be in a position to spend time on that this year…
