Competing options lowering demands? I think that only makes sense if something has lost market share to the point that it is not in use.

- chrismorgan 9y agoMost people that write JavaScript don’t care about any of these new features. They are developed by those on the cutting edge, for those on the cutting edge. Eventually, some of them become more widely used, occasionally even going mainstream. (We’ve seen a rash of that in the past few years.) If the technology leaders all switched to WebAssembly and no longer cared about JavaScript, JavaScript development would stall, and people that still wrote JavaScript would probably breathe a sigh of relief as their target stopped moving. (It could still regain momentum after such an event.) It seems very improbable to me that this will occur in the next five years.
