I really love most of javascript. I think it's a great language. But there are things that need to be improved syntactically. Also, syntactic extensions could vastly improve specific apps, depending on what they are doing. I agree that there are concerns about debug-ability, but as any Lisper will tell you, you just need the tools to support it. That's why macros need to be native. All the debuggers will be aware of them, so it should be a non-issue. The whole point of macros is to make code more readable, too. I'm not sure how you can argue that its less readable. Most people agree that the tradeoff is readability/debug-ability.
