<p>It seems to me that, despite being one of the world's most used languages, even some of the leading experts of JavaScript like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Crockford">Doug Crockford</a> think JavaScript suffers from some pretty big design flaws (<em><a href="http://www.crockford.com/javascript/javascript.html">JavaScript: The World's Most Misunderstood Programming Language</a></em>) that make development confusing and ambigious.</p>

<p>Programming languages and development tools are always getting better and make it much easier for developers to make things. There's a new version of .NET every few years, new version of HTML5 with new tags, new versions of CSS, etc.</p>

<p>Why hasn't there been a better version of JavaScript or another dynamic loosely typed language, but without all the design flaws, come out to supercede JavaScript?</p>
