Much of JS's turbulence in the past 5 years has centered on it coming into its own as a "real" programming language/ecosystem. Modules, a headless VM, reactive patterns for user interfaces. All of these are things that other languages started out with, whereas JavaScript started out as, well, a scripting language. It was just sprinkled atop HTML pages, not running the whole show.
So my guess would be that things are going to slow down soon. Not completely; JS might remain one of the most turbulent ecosystems. But I think there will be a sharp dropoff in churn.
