If I absolutely must choose a "winner" (what does that even mean?) then I would give the golden medal to the one that has a standard behind it.
I think it's a very pointless thing to pick a winner. It's not a popularity contest. You will be able to tell that some technology is "lost" or is over, when the popularity will be declined to the 0.0.1 alpha release state.

It allows super fast paced experimentation with new language features, without having to get buy-in from browser vendors or even JS family languages.
- kowdermeister 11y agoThat's true and experimentation is good thing, just look at CoffeeScript, although I never liked it. However I always bet on technologies that are standardized rather than maintained by a company. Not a fail safe approach, I know, but that's the way I minimize risk.
