So do these "prove me wrong" threads actually work on the imageboards?

Javascript is missing libraries. Even Lua has a very complete set of libraries, but Javascript has nothing, so it cant be used for general use programming.
Also I would like to see lexical scope added to Javascript so you dont have to put var in front of variables to make them local. Even Brenden admitted it was a mistake to leave out lexical scope and was just just following the mode of scripting languages at that time like Perl or TCL.
Someone should make a Coffeescript compiler instead of Coffeescript just being translater to Javascript.
>>9 ES6 will have lexical scope with let.
that is so gay, what a stupid idea to have to create a Lisp let block around C bracket scope. I'll stick with var over a stupid let block. if even Coffeescript and Kaffeine can manage to have NORMAL LEXICAL SCOPE, why cant js? I cant believe how everyone just falls for anything that resembles Lisp syntax, no wonder Abelsuss have no problem peddeling their stupid sicp book.
