Yes, waiting makes sense! JS Harmony will probably have modules [1], inheritance will probably be improved, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if JS moved away from prototypal inheritance and towards Java-style classes. This is a bit of a shame because prototypal does not necessarily prevent static features [2], but it is what most people are familiar with.
A reverse example is layout where Qooxdoo is currently ahead of most of the competition (Dojo, jQuery, ...), but that could change if better GUI layout makes it into CSS [3].
