Javascript is actually a quite good language: it has a dynamic object model and real closures. It has its deficencies, of course (like scoping rules). It's really bad if you prefer statically typed languages, though, because on the client side on the web you have no other choice for the moment. Probably in the future we will see language implementations that use js as a target language become more mature and widespread.
