I think it's not the language itselft that causes the problems.
I would like to have a more flexible security manager in the browsers. One that allows me to define i.e. that onUnload() is harmful or window.open() or .. or ..

Well it's not quite flexible enough to do more than one of these things but one of the Google toolbar's experimental features is the purported ability to suppress onUnload() events.
