I'm really asking myself when ECMA Script will take over the world. Everyone is talking about that it will be the NBL. It's not that I don't like ECMA Script but there is a shit lot to do to implement all those language features into ECMA Script.

All those stuff and sure much more have to be done:

- performance of eval() (yes, I even don't know if this is ever possible)

- tools (great-eclipse-visual-studio-like IDE)

- Destructuring bind (e.g. x, y = returnTwoValues())

- Standard OOP with classes, instances, interfaces, polymorphism, etc.

- Visibility quantifiers (public/private/protected)

- Iterators and generators

- Namespaces and packages

- Operator overloading

- Static typing and duck typing

- Solid string and collection libraries

Does anyone know if ECMA Script is going to implement half of the stuff?
