x86 Assembly -> C -> C++ -> JavaScript

edit: Okay, I get why I'm being downvoted. :) But I just wanted to say, apparently in a vague way, that evolutions happen. People don't invest their precious time just because something is "hip". Apparently they solve a problem of their predecessor.

C++ to JS is a pretty huge jump. C++ -> Java -> JS might work better.

More like LISP -> ML's -> C++, Java, C#, Ocaml -> Rust, Julia, Clojure, and the other better ones. :P
