Mozilla has a JS alternative? I wish that http://www.rust-lang.org compiled to JS but it doesn't.

This is very different than my understanding of coffee script and dart in that it is a superset of JS. This means you can incrementally make use of and learn it.

MS came with a different approach. Rather than recreating the language of the web they asked how they van make it better.

I'm pretty sure Anders Hejlsberg isn't a shill for corporate strategists.

Oh, please.

So because of Dart -- which isn't exactly storming the internet and converting developers -- this is some lame Microsoft me-too attempt?

Look at the ecosystem! How many JS Frameworks? Variety is good.
