I am not talking about any APIs in JS or any "implentation in JS". JS, the language, as specified, is wrong at the core. It has a lot of insensible semantics. It's not even at a local maximum. I could just write a list of 10 changes to the language right now that would spur near-unanimous agreement of benefit with no downside.

I'm not talking about api's either. I'm talking about js as an implementation of ideas about what a language should do. It is built on a lot of great ideas and most are well implemented.

Since you aren't providing your sure-win idea changes, I can't be sure what you don't like but I can guess. All of them are well documented at this point. And they are easy to understand and avoid.

Go for it.

There is a site dedicated to collecting them but I cannot find it atm. This one does a decent job however:
