5-10 years is a very long period. To me: JavaScript looks exciting, current trends clearly show the rise of JS.
However, just a decade ago, a large majority of Internet used JS primarily for form validation, which was sad. A lot of web developers were not comfortable leaving their code open for the visitors to see.
I personally believe JS will continue to soar but I also believe that nobody can answer this question perfectly as nobody knows the future.
In any case, if you spend a lot of time learning any language very well, the time required to learning another language after that, decreases substantially.
