Iteresting, how new language will solve problems with have little to do with the language itself?

Nowhere does he propose a new language built on the same foundation.

What he actually proposes if you read the presentation is more security for/around JS.

Yes, but I do believe that it would be best to rethink JavaScript. Essentially you could start from a safe subset of JavaScript that remove the global nonsense and rebuilds with a proper object model that restricts how you can get a reference to an object.

Douglas Crockford makes a proposal for this in a recent presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/webdirections/douglas-crockford-aj...
