Replace Javascript with a procedural markup language? Ick ick ick.
Been there, done that, with XSLT. At first it seems like a great idea--but once the logic extends beyond the trivial, it really stinks. Hard to write, hard to read, hard to follow. Cramped, like his description of PASCAL.
Javascript (ECMAScript) is a wonderful, nimble core language--it's the clusterf%@k of different host environments (browser incompatibilities, in particular) that drive people crazy.
