5 years late, but I liked where the language was going. I like functional aspect and immutability, but languages like Elm make my brain hurt. And Lispy ones make my eyes bleed.
I worked on a language while I had some time off, to explore some ideas and see where I could take JS. Map, range and tuple literals, operator overloading, async functions, etc. https://github.com/mikeaustin/impulse-js. Maybe some day I’ll have more time, or someone will have similar visions to ours :) or, if these made it into es8 it would be nice.
