A comment on JavaScript at 20. Parent comment

As more and more people write software in languages that compile to JavaScript instead of directly hand-writing JavaScript the demand for JavaScript becoming a better compile target grows.

In that sense adoption of Dart, ClojureScript, TypeScript, Elm et all will continue to accelerate JavaScript (language and runtime) improvements.

Love it when a plan comes together!
