VS2010 + MVC 2.0 + Javascript != Awesome

Okay, this is not a formula for success.
1) I cannot debug javascript by putting a VS2010 break point due to a bug in the MVC 2/3 that Microsoft admits is there but will not fix.  Has something to do with the fact VS2010 cannot debug silverlight and javascript at the same time and VS2010 mis-identifies what is running with MVC 2/3 framework.  That's just great...
2) Back up plan.... the ever useful alert("I'm hitting this face break point");
3) Plus robust exception handling native to javascript.
4) My love for case sensitive coding scripting languages.

Is Javascript the best we can do for a web UI language?

Given a choice, I'd pick python.
