Blazor and similar technologies built on WASM are the future of web dev.

I no longer read articles on JavaScript or related libraries, it's all obsolete. I know enough JS and TypeScript to get by until WASM-based tech takes over, hopefully within 2 years.

Given the popularity of Node.js, I doubt this. JavaScript is still winning when people have the option to use C# or C++ or Scala or whatever else.

The type of organizations I work on, node.js is only used as requirement for Web frontends.

Which I anyway avoid thanks the bundlers in Java and .NET frameworks.

Unless you're disputing Node.js' popularity I'm not sure how your anecdote is relevant...
