People behind that website can't really be serious. Signing a petition or even raising a huge amount of funds is not going to change the fact that browsers will have to support JavaScript for decades, and that a replacement only makes sense if it has enough browser support. Microsoft and Google are already working on a replacement language for JavaScript (TypeScript and Dart respectively), and they are doing it in the only way that makes sense: by providing a compile-to-javascript as a fallback. Mozilla I think is not working on a new language, but on ASM.js instead, which is a different beast. Last but not least, those people opted for trying to critizise JavaScript by completely quoting out of context Douglas Crockford, a person who claims that despite its many flaws, JavaScript is a very useful language with great features.
