I really wish that the browsers adopted a byte-code standard.(NB: JS with source maps is Yet Another Hack, doesn't count.)

If we just had a bytecode and VM standard, along the lines of Java, we could all stop talking and go to hell in our own way.

I would vote for Python, if we were to pick one right now for such a thing.

I believe Guido (creator of Python) wrote a browser way back then, in Python. So naturally it had the capability of scripting the client-side via python.

In case someone is curious:
