One of the key metrics when writing code is speed.

That's why we replace Javascript by compiled languages.

Can't wait for native JS become true (WebAssembly, asm.js. Nectarjs looks promising).
Meanwhile, I will stick with JS :)

From the NectarJS website:

NectarJS transforms JS developers in low level efficient developers.

That does not seem for me. I already am a low level efficient developer.

Wasm is not a replacement for JS unfortunately

@nektro that's just political propaganda.
In reality, it will probably replace it, not only in libraries but all the way to the glue code.
Just needs more features than the MVP release we have now.
But they are definitely on the way.
