I know this might be hard to see, but Rust is actually in the same domain. It is also, among other things, enabling product/frontend/web engineers to build backend/native/browser-less applications.
I'd bet Rust will be more successful here, especially given its amazing ability to change itself and innovate.

I can imagine web programmers being productive in deno in a few minutes vs however long it takes to learn an entire new language, not to mention a language that requires memory management.
