I agree...I couldn't trust an article that thinks JS is "treading water' ... It's so far from the truth it's not funny. Keep in mind things like MongoDB use JavaScript with map/reduce and other commands. Then of course look no farther than the mobile world. If anything I would expect JavaScript to become one of the top most used and popular languages out there. Given that it can be used for many, many, things including some decent graphics work. Desktop apps, mobile, server, databases, and of course (and always since the 90's) blinky text in HTML documents =)
