One obvious shift I’ve seen is in the use of the WASM and Web GL compiled applications. The likes of Figma and Superhuman are making incredible leaps in user performance.
I suspect serious companies will make strides here.

It's done that way because documents can get really large and having more low-level memory management helps a lot there. On the other hand, writing UI in C++ is really tedious and React has served us great. For non-performance sensitive areas, I'd much rather use TypeScript + React, despite being comfortable writing C++.
So obviously we're big fans on WASM, but we don't expect nor want JS/HTML/CSS to go away anytime soon.
but all entitled to their opinions, js could die in 10 years for all we know
