There is an increasingly large population of "programmers" that have never known anything other than Javascript and don't understand the concept of "different languages for different purposes". They want Javascript to do everything so they don't have to leave their comfort zone.

Web browsers are a long ways off from WASM being acceptable as an alternative in most cases, as it yet can't access the DOM directly. Its not that we don't understand different languages for different purposes, its more what real alternative do we have here and if we want certain features in the language we have to follow the process to get them.
