Free needs to be defined more. Obviously there are costs associated with maintaining the Internet; it can't be free. Also, open needs to be defined more. You can't be fully open and have privacy as well: privacy is a form of censorship. Also, this is one sided, and doesn't take into consideration the ISP's position as well. Too vague to mean anything.

We don't need another language in the browser. We need a VM in the browser. As in byte codes. That way ANY language can be used. JS gets compiled down to a VM and then that is run in most implementations of JS. Why can't we just target that VM directly and use our own tools and compilers instead of being forced to compile it to javascript?
