> In what other language can you write a program which will run on such a combinatorial explosion of operating systems, hardware platforms and CPU architectures, let alone with reasonable performance?
By that do you mean Android, iOS and Windows?
This what I call acquiescing. The simple fact is that coding in Javascript gives the Big Three access to your raw code, or makes it easier to deobfuscate it. Why have Microsoft brought out TypeScript and Google Dart, if Javascript is so great? Because it is not. Who are the standards bodies besides these 3? Who controls and directs the W3C policies. Extending Javascript to make it easier to work with or supplanting it with a new backwards compatible version shouldn't be a big deal, but of course these 3 will always disagree to disagree so long as it gives them an advantage over mass of developers out there an advantage and forces them through their marketplaces.
