JS is everywhere though. You even have parasitic languages that compile to JS (ClojureScript, TypeScript, etc). You got Node and also Deno for back-end stuff with support for multithreading. Concequently, JS is among the most popular, and most used languages.
I do admit the ecosystem needs to find a way to have more stability, because NPM outdated package tree nightmare is pretty bad, but I guess that's what you get with an industry that moves so fast, so in that case it's up to you as a developer to not use too many dependencies.
Anyway this is all to say I don't think JS is going anywhere for the next 10 years.
