Or supersets of it" is wrong. It's all still javascript. Just.. plain.. javascript. with a different api/library.

I don't think you understood what I wrote. And I'll leave it at that.

is there an alternative interpretation? you appear to be saying that a library can make javascript into a new or superset language.

Are you saying something different?
