JavaScript isn't going anywhere, I believe.

And I'm not saying this because I think it's the best ever, or because I don't learn from history and how things change.

It's the nature of the web. We're still dragging things from HTTP/0.9 and and from HTML 1.0 along.

But also, JS is a capable script engine with millions of USD put into engineering VMs into it, and the networks effects are inescapable. I don't see WASM replacing it either. They'll be used in tandem.
