I feel like this concept is about to be turned on it's head. Pretty soon, with WebAssembly (DOM access specifically), JS is going to potentially not matter at all for modern browsers.
Hell, there's even a chance that other languages end up "doing it better", being safer, or more robust, or more concurrent (when threads are added to WASM).
I have a hard time believing JS will still reign king of the hill when it has so many publicly agreed upon issues. If other languages do not have a disadvantage due to WASM (ie, slower DOM access), it seems inevitable that JS is just going to be one in many web languages, just like the rest of software.
