While I believe you are correct in that supporting more languages by won't fix the issues people have with developing for it as they would really want the APIs/frameworks for those languages and in that regard compile to JavaScript tools would better serve them since the only secure way to give developers multiple API's to work with is through a translation tool.
But several people seem to insist that's a poor solution. It sounds like they want direct support for other languages in the browser but how can they securely directly support other languages?
