Programming languages in general hide the limitations of machine code under the rug. Regarding performance, why don't we write our web applications in C++, Rust or Go? There is a lot of churn in front-end frameworks, but for back-end frameworks the ecosystem is more stable (I like ExpressJS, which is like the Rails for NodeJS). If you factor your architecture correctly (e.g. separate your domain model from your views), you can also switch a bit easier between front-end frameworks.
