Crockford made this claim in an interview.
It's the best thing we can do to Javascript. I was one of the few advocates for Javascript. It worked together of nested functions and dynamic objects. I tried to fix its flaws for a decade. There was a small success with the software. Since then, there has been a strong desire to make the language better. The other dinosaur languages are barriers to progress. The next language should look a lot like E.
According to a StackOverflow survey earlier this year, Javascript is used by over 65% of developers, way ahead of second place Python at 48 percent.
Crockford also acknowledged there's be two difficulties in replacing browser-based JavaScript, according to the article. "First, we don't have the next language yet. It needs to be a minimal capability-based actor language that is designed specifically for secure distributed programming. Nothing less should be considered. "Second, we need all of the browser makers to adopt it and to simultaneously replace the DOM with a well designed interface. Good luck with that."
