You're going to have to come up with better reasons than performance (modern JS engines are some of the fastest out there, even before considering asm.js), MVC (all the cool-kid frameworks that I know nothing about, like Backbone.js and Knockout.js, are about exactly this), and the language (JavaScript: The Good Parts, ECMAScript 6, CoffeeScript and every other ThisScript and ThatScript, etc.).

There are probably valid arguments, but those aren't them.

(Also, speaking of languages that are a throwback to the '80s, have you heard what Apple's language of choice is???)
