If things keep going the way they are someday JavaScript is gonna be optimized enough to get pretty close to C; specially functional scripts/parts (those with no side effects).

Right sure, then you'll have something that (supposedly) goes as fast as C and has even more issues! This is going to be great!

Very, very far from C in memory, for all things.
