It's nice for main stream websites and not so complicated web applications. But fact remains that JS is a crappy language with dynamic variables horror, cross browser issues and pretty annoying integration with the presentation layer. I am surely not a fan. Actionscript used to be just like JS, but progressed into a strong OOP language. JavaScript should progress on that same line. No , JS will not save us all.

Every browser includes it. What other language could you possibly consider to use? I'm also really enthusiastic about the language improvements Douglas Crockford talked about. (I think it was this vid: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/111593 .) With those in place JavaScript *can* save us all. :-) @Tim, js adoption is about 100%. Every browser includes it.
