Many page requires user interaction, so a kind of programmatic is requir=

You could do many worthy browsing with a pure HTML browser, like going t=

Make all of that safe, would be a great challenge for software engineerS=

which would go beyond the single topic of web-browser.

There was no security hole due to the lack of typing, the only impact of=

that are stupid and exhausting errors only discovered at runtime (you  =

really need to be the original author to update a real JS application). =

There is already a planed typed successor for JS (optional type  =

annotations and type inference, was planned before, then dropped, then  =

re-introduced as a target, and this is supposed to be part of the next  =

ECMA standard revision).
