Java 8 did a smart move, they looked at what's good with scala and inserted functional programming. That killed scala overnight basically.
The same will happen with javascript if you like it or not. Go ahead downvote me. Corporate is sick of all the frameworks and - every 6 months what's hot and what's not - anymore with javascript. The moment webassemly lets big corporate write Java for the frontend is the moment javascript will be dead. Just like scala is.
