Just to put in to words what I expect many are thinking: Javascript is a spec, thus the rise (and fall) of transpiled languages is more a testament inevitable and increasing utility of Javascript (you know, the result of a passionate tryst between Brendan Eich and Netscape, in which Sun looked on in the corner slowly smoking a ciggarette...). ahem I guess I can see the eventual end of Javascript-only everywhere. If a browser/device will run my coffeescript/dart as navtive, then suh-weet. Anyway. I found it interesting how we interpret things differently. For instance, to my mind the rise of Java on Github was more enterprise cautiously leaving the their old-country (SVN) and following the hot-shit™ languages into cloud based git. Rather than a new flowering of the language. Gratz to the Java team for adding some functional stuff. But is it just me or does this article have a HINT of: "Welp, we just killed Javascript - what will Java dominate next?"
