Exactly. Especially if it's a server-side language. I'm really hoping that we're coming to the end of the era where we use server-side languages to generate static HTML, and I hope we're closer to the end of the creation of new languages to do that. That problem is solved. What's not entirely solved is how we make client-side interaction with server-side systems work better. Backbone.js + Sinatra is a nice start, but then you have browser inconsistencies and awful client-side debugging. I'd love to see people tackling that problem instead of inventing Yet Another Framework, But then, maybe Dart is something client-side. Of course, then only Google's browser would support it and we'd go back to pretending we like JavaScript while writing in CoffeeScript. :)
