sad news for some people but now that it has been truly made independent of the browser JavaScript will never die, in the same way that every other programming language that has ever been used to build applications is still puttering around.

There are too many people with worthwhile JavaScript skills to service, too many companies who have things built in it and employees with those skills who will keep building things in it.

Maybe in 2050 there will be Cobol style posts on HN about JavaScript.
