That ship has sailed.

As much as I would like to have something different for the browser (such as Scheme, as originally envisioned, or Lua, which would have been a better fit), the world has moved on.

Only hope is to compile to javascript or webassembly (or "transpile", as js folks like to call it).




We once had a hope, it was called dart and could transpile to JS as well for backwards compatibility.

Now wasm has our hopes up again but without direct dom access.
