The web is a really weird platform for this though: There are SO many places the lower level language (the one you're translating to) has to properly handle, that DSLs feel like a big risk to many people

I'm personally looking forward to stuff like "CoffeScript, a 5 year retrospective" etc, to show how safe all that stuff ended up being long term

Can you elaborate on some places where "low-level" javascript is needed?

Unfortunately, no I can't. I don't know where the frameworks break in 2013. Been off the web for too long.
