Depends if you define WebAssembly as "JavaScript" or not.
Have the days of hand-writing raw JS peaked? More than likely. Between TypeScript and other transcompilers, and the impending threat of WebAssembly being able to consume other languages and output browser executable code.
A project like Microsoft's Blazor[0] might ultimately fail, but that type of compiled from language to WebAssembly likely is the future. But if you define WebAssembly as "JavaScript" then I guess we haven't hit peak JS.

- chacham15 8y agoUntil WebAssembly can manipulate DOM, its unlikely to gain any significant amount of adoption. Currently that feature is still in the proposal phase (https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/1079 https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/1079) so it seems quite a long way off.
