JS sucks for building large applications. I say this as someone who has 
built 10-100KLOC-size applications in JS, including in Node.JS. It's not 
statically typed, which makes MLOC-size applications practically 
impossible to maintain, it's got some pretty crappy tooling, it has poor 
support for multithreading.

Also, replacing a language basically never happens. Even languages like 
COBOL and Ada refuse to die.
