To me, the really depressing thing is the way that JS development is becoming required of all web aps developers. It is so dominant on the front end that you really can't avoid it. Even worse is the notion that because it's already on the front end, why not write the whole thing in JS? So now, javascript becomes the only language for the backend as well. It's not just Rails and Django that go away, it's ruby and python. I don't think that'll happen, like I said in a different comment, I do think that isomorphic ruby and other languages transpiled to javascript will play a big role in the resurgence of a lot of good languages that aren't javascript. Even if that's not the mechanism, I am pretty much 100% sure that other languages will reassert themselves in time.
