If the premise is to be believed, the article is only making the problem worse...
Personally, I can't stand writing JavaScript and prefer to insulate myself against the moving target that is ECMAScript by writing declarative UIs in ClojureScript + Reagent, which uses React behind the scenes: https://reagent-project.github.io/ https://reagent-project.github.io/
There is some interesting new stuff on the horizon like Hyperfiddle Photon, which compiles network I/O for you. As for me, an old dinosaur, I'm tired of learning new syntax. Clojure the language has not changed since its release. Lisp has been around since the 60s. It will be around in another 60 years. For me, it is the 100-year language. I'm sure it's not the end goal, but I am willing to bet it will be a Lisp-like.
