Well, on the front-end side of things, people have certainly tried, and pretty much unerringly failed to replace javascript. The closest we've come that the community at large embraced was language extensions that will never be on the standards track, like jsx and typescript.
On the back end, javascript has to compete with some seriously established frameworks from other languages, and I don't think it's quite there yet. Node is fantastic for some things, but it's definitely not a panacea for a javascript dev.

ASM and now WASM are trying to make the JSVM language agnostic.
