That's almost exactly what coffeescript is.

With Source Mapping in browsers, it also means you'll be able to get a .coffee line in your tracebacks too.

I agree. Yes, I would have liked to just have coffeescript as their new language. Maybe they could have just supported direct native execution on Chrome. Maybe Firefox would have followed.

CoffeeScript solves most of the problems with JavaScript's syntax, but the problem they're trying to solve here isn't the syntax, it's the structure and semantics.
