I think javascript is changing more rapidly because:
1. It's on the back-end and front-end.
2. Lots of corporate sponsorship of Node.
3. Adoption of other languages' functionalities (namely async/await from C#, sets from Python, symbols from Ruby (could be wrong here), hash rocket from Ruby/Scala).
4. Teams building their JS libraries to serve the unique needs of the team (Uber's fusion.js, React and Redux for Facebook, Google's AngularJs/Angular/Material Design).
5. Browsers converging on JS spec which allows for arguably more cross platform development.
6. Node is a "good enough" solution for managing IO when it was introduced (hesitating to say perfect because Ryan Dahl has mentioned that he would have done a lot of things differently and has introduced deno as means to correct what he thought were the warts of Node).
