I don't think it actually is going in the right direction, they've screwed up loads of things.
Things like getter/setters and object initializers. And don't even get me started on Web Workers, which basically seem to be dead on arrival. The Web Workers design is so shockingly bad and not fit for purpose that I don't understand how anyone signed off on it.
Some bits of the new js are in the right direction, and those are the things that people talk about and are getting used, but lots of things were definitely not.
