"As for languages, the future of computing is JavaScript (except for the lowest and most performance-sensitive layers, over which the Rust Evangelism Strike Force has an unshakable claim".

JS is and will continue to be a client only Tech stack for ML because of it's lack of a NUMPy like Math library. Between friends you should also add Python to your arsenal of languages to learn.
