The simplest solution would be to specify a VM for the web - that way people could use whatever language they like. Using JS for this purpose is suboptimal.

This would require people like Eich to entertain alternatives to his diseased progeny.

Hi Peter, I hope you can see (or will soon see) that a specified polyglot VM for the Web is what I've been working on all along.
