Javascript started with competition that did not yet exist, and made design compromises in order to get there first, and the price of those compromises still bites us in the ass on a daily basis 20 years later.

Your competition now is the most widely deployed programming language toolchain in the industry (yes, even more than C, because most people don't have compilers). Your would-be allies are four huge corporations with their own agendas and their own ideas for how to solve the problem.

You, my friend, are getting in a fistfight with a hurricane.
