Notice that you take "a good set of APIs" to be a given, from which you start to reason about the value of a rewrite done in JavaScript. As Maciej and Darin have already mentioned, a good set of abstractions upon which to build editing is not a given. It is the critical part of the task. So far, I haven't seen a proposal for a good set of abstractions upon which to build editing. I'd like to see a proposal for that. I worry that talk of a rewrite and a new language is just a distraction from that real task.
