I have considered it. I am looking closely at ELM right now. a very interesting language.
I think JavaScript lends itself very well to a function reactive paradigm and the code I write is completely free of this. There are times when I import a 3rd party library that forces me to write this to use their api and that makes me sad.
Maybe you should a pure functional language, and your problems will go away. What will be next, get rid of loops? :-)
