...have you read the end of [1] where I suggest to use JS as the only scripting language and eventually introduce specialized languages such as XPath using some additional top-level functions?..
I haven't been following all of this discussion but this sounds right: now that the Rhino licensing issue is solved, basing more stuff on it or on a similar syntax makes a lot of sense, in order to reduce the number of tools that one must learn.
...scripted languages have a drawback of their scripted nature, as there's no IDE or compiler warning about deprecated features...
But your (IIRC) idea of using a "deprecation logger" with big scary warnings would help here.
