agreed about the red flags, but the actual language looks very tastefully designed and pleasant to use.

I suppose. But I'm not really the target audience: I'm more comfortable in Scheme than Haskell, and I'm willing to forgive JS most of its warts (especially since it's got proper HOF (better than Python and Ruby, anyways), and is getting TCO. It even has a macro system, courtesy of sweet.js (even if it is only a limited pattern-matching one, as opposed to the imperative systems of Lisp and most Schemes)).
