On: No More JavaScript: An attempt to build a replacement language

Hard to tell if somebody genuinely thinks this is a good idea or if it's just a major trolling exercise. For their sake I hope it's the latter.

Given the existence of coffeescript and the plethora of languages which compile to js, the former is certainly possible.

There seems to be a phenomenon of coders who want to work in the browser but who refuse to touch a language they find aesthetically unpleasant. I would suggest OP go find something that compiles Ruby to Javascript and stop insisting the entire web be restructured because they find braces ugly.

Meteor.js clone for ruby for example: https://github.com/voltrb/volt ;)

(i personally love meteor coding with literate coffeescript, though)
