This reflects my inception, too. Not only in webdevelopment, but desktop-apps and mobile stuff is developed in JS, too.

I even heard, that: Win8 Metro Apps are developed with HTML5 stuff and Apple is building a JS Bridge to their Cocoa APIs. But i have no sources currently.

If this is true, there will be one language to rule them all. It's not the prettiest one, but that's what meta-languages like coffeescript are for (if you want).

(Projects like ASM.js (near native speed) or Emscripten (transcompile many languages like C++ to JS) are pushing towards this direction even further!)

[_random_]

ASM.js is actually a JavaScript killer. It's a hope-giving possibility of not having to touch JS whatsoever.

perfect world for me: write in coffeescript and compile to asm.js for raw performance :)

I don't think you know what asm.js is
