This shows us how useful JS really is.
More like: "This shows us how desirable it is to try and circumvent writing JavaScript, despite how important the Web is." I'm not saying JavaScript is good or bad. Just saying that there is certainly a strong desire to not write it, as evidenced by this long list of transpile languages.
I want to say that JavaScript is the "Assembly Language" of the web.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Or, more simply, a good indirect indicator of how desirable a common vm for the web really is.
I'm torn between CoffeeScript and TypeScript. If there was a language that had the syntax sugar of CoffeeScript plus static typing, I would be in heaven.

That would be a dream come true.
My main gripe isn't Javascript (though I agree, argh), it's the DOM. So yeah, I could choose to write X instead of Javascript, but I still have the most painful of the pain points to deal with.
