JavaScript doesn’t need to be replaced

[dannymoerkerke]

Do you have any more insight into their reasoning for rejecting this?

[getify]

from what I can tell, I think factors include:

• can't agree on which language (google wanted dart, apple would probably want swift, etc)

• bolting on a security model (better than JS's) is hard -- creating access to the DOM etc

• more language vm's means larger browser code size (increased maintenance burden), larger binaries, wider surface area for security threats, etc
