I think you both misread this: people obsess about the tiny imperfections in
Lua precisely because they are very happy users. It is because Lua is
already so very good that people think it has a shot at perfection.
Personally I would never bother to contribute to a discussion about
improving JavaScript because it is such a steaming mess that I would not
know where to start. Only Forth is worse, and it at least is interestingly
bad!
