As a Lead JavaScript Engineer, I try to get my team to write as little JavaScript as possible.
Always bet on JavaScript.
JavaScript is the only language that I’m aware of that people feel they don’t need to learn before they start using it.
Go is the language JavaScript programmers retire to when they get old. Like the Florida of programming languages.
Java is to JavaScript as ham is to hamster.
Any app that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.
The strength of JavaScript is that you can do anything. The weakness is that you will.
If you are choosing a JavaScript library purely based on popularity, I think you deserve what you get.
Node.js is a tumor on the programming community, in that not only is it completely braindead, but the people who use it go on to infect other people who can't think for themselves.
