I guess JavaScript moves pretty slow these days.

  JavaScript moves really fast these days. Faster JITs, NodeJS, Asm.js, wide support for WebGL, WebCL on the horizon... The only real downsides are scaling issues that npm is running into, the fact that Google moved much of its V8 team to Dart, and no WebGL on iOS.

    The purpose of Asm.js is to only touch JS with a 10-feet pole. Node.js is just an implementation of the Reactor pattern with some package management. Google are smart people, they understand that dynamic weakly typed language is a dead end, hence Dart for client and Go for server.

    The JavaScript engines move really fast but not the language itself.
