Dune II in JavaScript

So 2012 is the 1992 of JavaScript?

Interesting reading. However, I disagree with him. Most of the disadvantages are more political than technical. If some consortium wrote a standard bytecode it would probably suck, but it would still have the same advantages people have been arguing for. Consider how many people use x86.
Source code is huge and already obfuscated (he mentions minification) and it's a poor language to begin with. People are compiling to JavaScript in crazy ways and that's never going to be as fast or flexible as a bytecode.
I would much rather have a poorly-designed bytecode (or even a subset of one, if there are compatibility issues) than a poorly-designed high-level language. At least with the latter I can write programs in a language I'm comfortable with, and still generate small/performant programs.

At least with the latter I can write Boos in a language I'm comfortable with, and still generate small/performant Boos.

First, it shows that bytecode has several disadvantages. Second, it explains that source code is not as bad a solution as it seems. Third, JavaScript is arguably the best language ever which everyone should be using anyway, so there is no point in making other languages compile to the same bytecode.
