I see your point, my own biases are present in some of those remarks. I do see javascript as a very powerful and easily learned language that would support an open web future well, but I also recognize that the likelihood that it would be javascript forever is small. One small point, though. Just by opening this debate and the two of us discussing this, we are contributing towards a future where we decide what gets adopted into browsers. Debate is something that is seriously lacking in closed source communities as the developers remarks too often fall on deaf ears. The people who decide what technologies to support in the open web are members of sites like these and are required to believe in open discourse.
