I am beginning to think the JavaScript ecosystem for non-browser environments is a deepening spiral.
Learning another language does require effort, but the increasingly circuitous machinations being invented to continue using browser scripting technologies outside the browser are starting to seem like even more effort.
Plus, those efforts yield skills that only apply within the contrivance. A second language would apply more broadly, and probably be more edifying.

You want your application be usable over the web. So there's a lot momentum behind JavaScript, and also lot of effort to make it better.
