Will Javascript be overhauled?
Actionscritpt 1 and Javascript were very similar. I remember playing with both back in 2001.


This journey has taken me from horrible prototyping nasty untyped languages to full blown design patterns. I found it tough. 

But now everyone seems to be proclaiming that HTML5 is the future of games on the web, and that future is here today.

Can someone confirm to me that Javascript has never been overhauled in the last 10 years? It has no plans to be a typed language?

Knowing this answer will tell me all I need to know abouy my career path. If javascript is simply just going to remain, as it is, you will never be able to make a decent game. Been there, tried that with AS1....  I will go forward with molehill. 

But if there is some spec.. some new typed version of jS planned, please let me know. 

Thanks for helping me choose my career plan :P
