I disagree. I'll hire a 55 year old JavaScript developer. In fact I have two fifty year old devs: Python/Django and Java/C and everything else that they know, which is a lot. They rock.

That's good of you to be open minded and even better that your older devs rock. The unfortunate reality is that there's age discrimination against elders, especially in tech, even if you're bucking the trend.
