There's only one thing I want in my future web client, and that's to not have to use javascript. Dart, or compilation in general is not quite the savior i'm hoping for...

I want to be able to write C#, or Ruby, or python, and reference it on a page, and for it to run. Gosh that would be great. I wouldn't even mind if its a very limited version of the language.

Edit: confused why i'm downvoted... hmmm

Think what kind of nightmare would that be now that web browsers are on phones, tablets and microwave ovens.

This salvation throws away decades of work of thousands of people that made our web browsers and our standards. Not to mention throwing away these decades spenting getting it right.

But if you really want to go there, go ahead, there's Java applets, Flash, Silverlight, Google's NaCl and probably more.

Or, probably better, get out of the browser land and write a freaking app.

Throwing back huge front-end stack fragmentation, insanely increased complexity of the browsers that you want to achieve with this approach? Statements like "I don't understand var scope in JS", "This prototype thing doesn't work", "JS is completely broken because [] == false" doesn't count, ok?

Because it has nothing at all to do with the article.

So, you want an operating system.
