Everybody hates Javascript

Name: Anonymous 2012-07-22 12:05

It's a fact: no one likes to code in Javascript, but it's the only programming language used by web browsers and new engines like V8 are fast as hell.
There are things like CoffeeScript and Fly to translate to JS, but translating one scripting language to another is shitty...

Let's say that you work on the Google Chrome Developers team and you can propose a new scripting language. There was another thread on /prog/ about using LISP, but let's be more realistic in this thread. The new language would be also implemented on V8.
So, what programming language would you propose?

But a lot of other languages have lexical closures (along with the bag of related problems), to name a few: Perl, Python, every Lisp, Ruby, even C with GCC extensions (can work if you don't mess up the stack before calling your closure).
