This is too clever by half. Some tools/languages are more amenable than others to creating and maintaining large apps. Very large applications have been written and maintained in C/C++ for decades. My contention is that Javascript is particularly ill-suited to the creation and maintenance of large scale apps in the long run for the reasons explained.

Any new language which purports to be an improvement upon Javascript should at least attempt to rectify these issues. That's my thesis.
