@jeremiah I hope this kind of thing catches on.
It took over 20 years, but we have managed to soft-fork JavaScript into a subset that is orthogonal to "this looks like a stack based virtual machine", and then it got really forked off to a stack based virtual machine for all your zero-install coding needs, which everyone has deployed already in their browser.
And now, we add languages to the UI layer that make better sense for UI scripting.
