> "Nothing better than JavaScript" isn't a real limitation if JavaScript is a moving target

JS is only a "moving target" in the sense that stuff is being added to it. If you could make a perfect language by just adding things, then we'd be fine.

But the nature of the language itself is not going to change, because that would break backwards compatibility. The type system, prototype inheritance, `this`, type coercions, etc. There are plenty of undesirable things in JS which we're stuck with (unless we break compatibility, in which case it might as well be a different language).
