Nope. The thing about JS that you guys don't understand is the prototype model with lambdas gives it the flexibility to be anything it needs. If jQuery came first as some sort of platform on its own (without those qualities), JS would still be as disruptive as otherwise.
People target JS partly because they think they can provide a better language (nothing wrong with DSLs and such), but all of those projects are only so successful because of the flexibility of the target. Don't like the semantics for something? Mess with its protos. Once you're happy with the semantics: emit code. That's all there is to it.
