Note that Mark Miller was a major mover in both E and SES. If 
you haven't read his PHD thesis 
<http://www.erights.org/talks/thesis/markm-thesis.pdf>, you 
probably should.

I'm not a Javascript guy, but moving in that direction seems 
reasonable. One advantage of E is that there are fewer 
compromises with the legacy. Javascript needs to avoid breaking 
the web as it moves to become a capability platform. If you 
think in E, you won't be seduced by the parts of Javascript that 
hang around for backward compatibility.
