Nice article, thanks!  I can't help but wonder if (as Ray commented re:

this is _fundamentally_ different from virtual machines and bytecode.

Not a technical difference, but a social difference.   We had to go through the 
phase of Java failing in this space, and JavaScript not being the right tool 
for the job.
