Glad someone finally wrote a post about this. Coming from the lisp world, that's the thing I constantly see missing from languages wrapping javascript. They generally change the syntax a bit, add a few features to minimize boilerplate in some areas, and call it a day. Why would I want to learn a new syntax to program in a language I already know well? Unless you give me the tools to write code that writes code, I'm not going to bother learning/using a new javascript syntax.
