A byetcode/VM approach would be an improvement on the web client. This has been used successfully for 10+ years on the server (JVM, CLR), so why not learn from things and advance the state of web development.

I don't understand why people defend JS so passionately. It was build in like 2 weeks, wasn't designed to build large complex applications, and hasn't really advanced at all since its inception. There are better options out there and the web development community should welcome any improvements to close the gap from Native to web.
