I think JS is critical infrastructure to this because the only way this stuff takes off is if users flock to it. And so the UX can't regress too much from what they're used to, and the modern web is what they're used to. In time, I think that a lot of backend plumbing around DAT and dex web stuff will not necessarily be JS, and if there are native mobile apps (if Google and App allow for them), those will be written in those native languages. But the front-end is almost certainly going to JS and modern web stack.
