JS has improved a lot over the years but I am not sure I would want it as the default scripting language for applications. JS is really only useful because it's the language you access the browser's API with. If you are creating a different kind of application and therefore don't need the DOM or other browser things then why JS at all? Having worked with Lua for some game mods, it seems like a better choice for an integrated language. Maybe a Rust inspired language would make a better fit for a modern DSL... insert XKCD comic about standards proliferation.
