I'm for saying "fuck JavaScript" and moving on to something more sane. Even visual basic for the web would make sense. LUA for the web, or even Python, but fuck JavaScript.
I say let oracle have it. Let the language die.

It would be really hard to coordinate such a huge move. And JavaScript is the most used language in the world, "letting it die" would mean making a whole lot of software die.
This lawsuit isn't just about JavaScript, it's also to keep the integrity of the courts.
