I see your point, but JavaScript is much more popular than any of the other languages designed to compile to it. Thus, even if one works in a restricted and somewhat tedious subset of JS (such as the one encouraged by the Google Closure Compiler and used by the Closure Library), wouldn't it still be easier to find already-qualified developers than if one uses Haxe or ClojureScript or Dart?
