But isn't this the danger of evaluating something via simple example? You can make fine websites with just a text editor (although I'd argue how easy CSS is to use) but as soon as it needs to be an app you need JS code, and suddenly the difference isn't so great. Infact, I'd probably find a traditional prog-lang easier to use in that case. I think the real advantage of JS is the robustness of its sandbox & permission system, that's what really needs reproducing.
