It's great to learn about the process. Sounds amazing. I agree that JS syntax is not a selling point, from what I read the approachability of a wider audience is. However I agree that care should be taken not to fall to easily in stripping away most of the ML interesting things and end up with everything looking the same. Go, Rust, Swift, JS it's all about the same. For different languages their "user interface" is extremely similar. I think that with your proposals you have shown a great suitability to discover the balance between being different and being accesible, I don't think they have to be opposed as many language designers seem to be convinced.
