hasn't objective-c and java pretty much replaced all the demand for javascript?

  No.

  Not even close. JavaScript is the closest thing we have today to a 'universal' programming language.

    It's universal because it's the only language that runs in the browser, not on its merits though. That alone made it big and ubiquitous. If Python had been picked as the scripting language for the web, or even Lua or Ruby, they would be the "universal" languages.

  There's a trend of moving away from native apps to JavaScript driven ones. For example, the Financial Times' recent move: http://paidcontent.org/2012/05/01/web-journey-complete-ft-switching-off-ios-app/ http://paidcontent.org/2012/05/01/web-journey-complete-ft-sw...

    And how many new native apps were submitted that day? Calling it a "trend" is a bit over the top, imho. Also consider the nature of the app — basically to display some content.
