While I agree that JavaScript can be better but suggesting to compile your code to JavaScript as default is something that I cannot feel comfortable with. Doing it once or twice if the need be so makes sense but phasing out JavaScript and writing code in high-level language only to compile it back to JavaScript does not feel right to me. Why add another layer (compilers) of code conversion only to increase the surface area for critical bugs?
