This is the hope I have too. Nicely put.
I have been coding in JS since JS landed in a browser and right now it's just too much, with a new build system every six months, to new libraries and frameworks. This continous evolution is necessary because JS wasn't designed to do the things people are using it for 21 years later.
So I've been looking at Elm. A lot of people really don't like the syntax. But if you get past that, there's a lot of things there. There's a great architecture, a sane package manager, static typing, and all the other things people bolt on. And it sounds like while it currently builds JS, it's going to move towards WebAssembly when that's more widespread.
Even if Elm doesn't become "the next big thing", maybe it'll spawn something that is.
I hope Elm, or something like it, does sweep the table clean.
