Adding Javascript support to high-performance reliable web server does not seem rational from the engineering point of view.

I'd rather added support for the safe subset of some statically-typed, high performance language compiled to LLVM. This language must be without asyncronous GC, so its memory use will be predicatable under high load.

Javascript on server side is so vogue-ish. Vogue will change soon but uglyness of architectural decision will stay with Nginx forever.
