I have to preface by asking if you think C#/.NET and C++ are examples of whose time has passed.
Personally, being an admittedly big fan of C, I still love working with JavaScript — and I love working with TypeScript on top of that even more.
It's not the end of the world, though. It's one solution to a selection of problems. Just the same, there are other solutions, and yet other problems that JavaScript can't solve.
I don't really think it's a question of "peak JavaScript" yet. I think the question is irrelevant, really.
On another note entirely, I've toyed with Go, but I don't care about it. I don't find the learning or development curve any quicker than C for me. C's very pragmatic (admittedly, potentially to a fault)— Go seems to further obfuscate things. I welcome attempts at conversion, however— it's possible I'm missing something there.
Rust seems to introduce a novel approach that I can appreciate, but I haven't done a deep dive. I haven't properly invested in Web Assembly, either, but that's in part due to the fact that I haven't identified an imminent need to do so. Sometime soon, probably.
