When we could, we optimized for ease of writing code, and it lead to bloated and slow systems. This is the current status of things.
We are optimizing again for performance, but we want to have our cake and eat it, we want both the performance and the ease of writing code. And the reduction of bugs in the end result.
This change takes time, perhaps decades. Longer than bubbles and market growth. It takes time because we are curious, and we want to test all possibilities. We want fast games, easy abstractions, zero bugs, the whole package.
But it will happen, at some point. Rust, Go, D, may be one of these languages will replace Javascript, or may be it will be a totally new language.
