Why would anyone take time to write a book like that for a failed language?

  Because they don't know it's failed.

  Maybe because you're stuck with it because a bunch of software has already been written in it, in need of maintenance and extension. Or maybe because the browser only runs javascript.

    If a bunch of software is written in a language, that doesn't suggest failure. More like resounding success.

      Popularity and vendor lock are not merit.

        Success/failure isn't a function of merit.
