A problem with jumping over to the current popular language is that JavaScript will eventually fade in relevance, as all programming languages do. At that point Emacs would be saddled with two niche languages, and the advantage of using what is popular will be lost. Emacs is the “editor of a lifetime” and I expect it to be around for another 40 years. Best not make decisions based on what the current trends are.
