Have we really? There seems to be a lot of this very sort of push back against higher-level languages like Haskell & Scala. I just recently debated a colleague on the merits of AltJS languages. He's of the opinion that Javascript is all we need and is happy to be a "Javascript assembly programmer" for the foreseeable (and perhaps unforeseeable) future.
