Everybody hates Javascript

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?

Mozilla has a very impressive amount of talent considering the company makes all open source software free of cost. Mozilla is derived from Netscape which is derived from Mosaic. Mosaic was designed by students at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champlaine, a very top tier CS college. Many of these students went on to work for Netscape which became Mozilla. If you look at the wikipedia page for Firefox you'll see it was developed by top-rate programmers. And of course the people at Mozilla are working on Rust, which looks to be much more capable than Dart.
