JS is still pretty sub-optimal, it's not as fast as people make it out to be. Ever try rendering like 30kb of json with node? It's not very fast compared to compiled languages or anything on the JVM.
I think there's tremendous value in having server and client code being in the same language though. I think the future will have things like GWT for other languages as long as JS is what's being ran in the browser.
