The browser reinforces javascript ecosystem dominance. We are not going to deprecate javascript in the browser because that would break the world. The way forward is improving wasm, and improvements there are coming, but even so the performance is roughly comparable to javascript in all of the benchmarks I've seen.
Even if we get to a place where wasm performs much better than javascript, javascript will remain dominant due to the fact that it's the default. It is what it is, we're stuck with it short of something like AI changing everything.
