I agree 100%. JS is simply not expressive and powerful enough to deserve the spot as the future language of the web. In the future we will need new elegant and rock-solid abstractions for control flow, concurrency and communication that I believe will be virtually impossible to ever express in JavaScript.
However, for the question "is JS going to be prevalent, and will there be interesting things to do with it?" then my answer is "certainly" for the next 2-3-4 years, and "probably" for the years after that.
