For the "Lets all just do JavaScript". There was a very, uhm , disappointed
blog post by
Gilad after they did the javascript implementation of NewSpeak...
JavaScript is *not* a good implementation language for languages. Especially
not if
you want to do something new. If you build on top of JS, you will be very very
contraint
in what is possible... and the things *I* want to build in the future with
Pharo
are just impossible to do on top of javascript.
