As a general trend with reimplementing stuff in JS, I don't quite know whether this is exciting or horrifying...

  JavaScript may very well have the doubtful honor of being the language that people have spent most resources to avoid writing in.

    It's probably 2nd place. I imagine avoiding writing in C gets the top honor.

      Nope, every single programming language and computing interface is an attempt to avoid writing machine code. :)

        Maybe, but the step away from assembly has been more about portability than avoiding the language.

    Which begs the question: why haven't browsers adopted another scripting language?

      You can find answer to this easily enough. Some at Google were pushing Dart, read reaction to that from Mozilla, Apple and Microsoft.
