> When can we finally kill JavaScript?

If you think JavaScript has problems I have bad news about the DOM…

Wanted to say the same thing. People often conflate JS with the DOM API, but that couldn't be further from the case.

You can get rid of JS, but that won't help much because it's just a small language interfacing with a huge, old, backwards compatible to 20+ years ago system that is the DOM.
