People behind that website can't really be serious.

Signing a petition or even raising a huge amount of funds is not going to
change the fact that browsers will have to support JavaScript for decades, and
that a replacement only makes sense if it has enough browser support.
Microsoft and Google are already working on a replacement language for
JavaScript (TypeScript and Dart respectively), and they are doing it in the
only way that makes sense: by providing a compile-to-javascript as a fallback.
Mozilla I think is not working on a new language, but on ASM.js instead, which
is a different beast.

Last but not least, those people opted for trying to critizise JavaScript by
completely quoting out of context Douglas Crockford, a person who claims that
despite its many flaws, JavaScript is a very useful language with great
features.

And the final insult:
