> wouldn’t it be nice to have browsers run byte code so you could have a choice of languages rather than having compile everything down to JavaScript?

How are those two situations different? You're compiling one language to another language. Does it matter if one of them is called "bytecode"?

The Javascript equivalent of byte code would be web assembly and that is still a long way from being ready for primetime.

The question is, why isn't "the javascript equivalent of bytecode" just javascript? Why do you think there's a difference between "javascript" and "bytecode"?
