prediction question: how long do you think until JavaScript goes away, and what language do you think will replace it as the de facto web language? I know Dart is aiming to fill that niche, as well as even Kotlin/JS and/or Kotlin/WebAssembly

    Also still around: Delphi, VBA Script, Excel formulas, Visual FoxPro

    JS is doomed to stay for eternity, as their is simply nothing to replace it.

    Although I wish MS would hurry up and kill of all of its VB derivatives already 😒

    I am a c# dev and am interested in blazor. I just want most not all javascript to die a painful death.

    I accidentally said javascript flamework instead of javascript framework. I did this in an interview.

    I think it will look very different in a couple of years compared to now (it already does compared to its initial release in 1995).

    But I hope that more webdevs learn Elm, Purescript or Reason/Bucklescript where JS is just the compiled output of a much more strict typed language and thus easier maintainable and less error-prone.
