The problem with javascript is not javascript, it is the system interface of the software where the javacript engine is: massive and beyond sanity heavy web renderers (blink|webkit/geeko) or very custom stuff like node-js. I wonder if there is a "standard", simple enough (reasonable implementation cost for very few devs) and stable in time way to call C functions of a shared library (aka "libdl-ing" from javascript), and use their memory objects and primitive types. We can even think of extensions for direct syscalls of various kernels. How to make this "generic" enough? If I recall properly, python has "ctype".
