  Obfuscation to name one. I don't see any enterprise moving to a platform where you can't protect your code from prying eyes. Although it's not inherently a language problem per se, (it could be solved by browser technology) it would help a lot if the language could be compiled.

    I haven't used it, but I've heard a lot of good things about the Closure compiler: https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/ https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/ Seems like it scratches that particular itch.

      FWIW, also available as a grunt service: https://github.com/gmarty/grunt-closure-compiler https://github.com/gmarty/grunt-closure-compiler

    We are talking about backend javascript, arguably javascript is already the top front-end enterprise language. So browser technology has nothing to do with it. Furthermore, Java can be decompiled in a format that is eaiser to read than explicitly obfusciated javascript.
