You make it sound as if there's another kind of JS.
Horribly inefficient relative to the environment :P
I just don't want 100 kb of crap to download just to
write a hello world.
A lot of people prefer to use gzipped sizes, but I don't
because the browser still has to parse the whole thing,
and that takes time after the download, even if you don't
actually run any of it.
(On some browsers, it parses it again on every page load!)
This generated D code gzips very, very well, but I still
want to keep it small in general for general speed.
The fastest code is no code at all. Less to parse, less
to run.
No, we don't want to do it like Dart:

17260 lines of code for Hello World.
To be fair to Dart, that was from the initial preview release of
it. They managed to get it quite a bit smaller a couple months
ago. https://gist.github.com/1385015
