I'm not knocking on Javascript because its really not all that bad but, some very smart people are doing very interesting things with languages these days so its unfortunate to me that developers are being limited to Javascript in the browser just because its to the only choice available. Personally I liked the idea of a common bytecode language for the browser which has been raised here on HN before (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1934021 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1934021).
