Yes, front end development will move away from JS to statically typed languages in 5 years. The fact that JS doesn't have integers and had to invent monstrosities like Uint32Array objects just shows why you do need a sanely typed foundation.
Calling JS elegant is like calling a gnarled, slime monster dressed in pink clothes elegant. Ooooooh I have shiny lambdas! Makes me soooo pretty - I can cover my warts and dazzle programmers!
