As much as many people want alternatives to JavaScript, there are also people who consider themselves JavaScript experts (or the various related languages like TypeScript). They’ve invested a ton of time and effort into getting to where they are.

There’s a balance between disruptive change and keeping these folks on board. Get it wrong and you’ll end up with it strangled in its cradle.

My own take is that low-code platforms will continue aggressively moving into this space, especially in the enterprise space. They come with their own problems and are often aggressively overhyped, but they will put pressure on “traditional” developers to move faster and look for better solutions.
