Isn't that just a side effect of frontend devs being able to use their existing JS knowledge serverside? I'd expect the reverse to happen as well to some degree since currently backend devs are somewhat "forced" to take on JS if they want to do any frontend work. Or does that seem less likely to you?

By that logic, they will also stick to JS instead of using WebAssembly. So, same result. I think the “backend dev migrates” case is less likely, in a purely math sense. The number of backend devs forced to do front end is smaller than the number of frontend devs.
