I'm in the opposite camp, it feels like js is mutating quickly to try to fix the rediculous problems with the language because people are forced to use it.

You don't see such sweeping changes in other languages that have been around much longer and used more widely than js.

JavaScript just got a package manager, the module system was hacked on a few years ago and still isn't standardized, the build tools change every other year and still largely suck, it still doesn't support multithreading, the object system is super wonky, it doesn't support specific float/integers which seems to break math constantly. None of these things are an issue in any other language I can think of, these features are in language V1.0

I expect developers to jump ship immediately when a replacement without these core problems reaches critical mass.

Google has been looking into this for a while, and Dart was designed with the assumption that JavaScript fundamentally sucks and can't be fixed.

This has happened before... Look what happened the perl when Python started to gain steam. It used to be pretty much the #1 way to write websites, now you would be a fool to use perl over Python on almost anything.
