Well, JS is the new machine code. What I am trying to say is that for every language there is a compiler that compiles to JS.

And any ways with the additions in ECMAScript6 JS will eventually be a decent language and it is small and fast and flexible.

At the moment it has a lot of warts, but you can use CoffeeScript or TypeScript to get around those now.

Javascript momentum will only increase in the future IMO, so betting on it now isn't that stupid.

Do you know if ECMAScript6 JS will be small and fast?
