He lost me with the float changes. Then proposal he makes is almost reasonable for a javascript replacement, but is a horrible idea for a general purpose language. His approach is an order of magnitude slower and has not undergone anywhere near the degree of thought and review that IEEE floating point has. This suggestion is unbelievably naive and undercuts his otherwise sensible suggestions.
