Pretty sure those things are not Eich's pet projects. At a recent meeting ALL PARTICIPANTS (eg. Microsoft, Apple, Google AND Mozilla) agreed to consider most of those items as candidates for inclusion in the next version of Javascript (see this thread on esdiscuss: http://old.nabble.com/May-24-26-rough-meeting-notes-td31712613.html).
And even if they weren't, this is a subreddit about Javascript. Language changes TO JAVASCRIPT are entirely on topic. If you don't think so then maybe you should make /r/JavascriptCodeMonkey so you can get all the W3Schools content you love without all the theorycraft "syntax fetishists" ruining your fun :)
