As someone who doesn't work incredibly often with Javascript but has dabbled with MEAN and extensions of MEAN, I found one of the last questions a bit biased in its results:
"I would like JavaScript to be my main programming language" (Rate 1 to 5)
49% (5)
35% (4-3)
16% - (2-1)
If you've taken this survey, it means that you have done at least a decent amount of work with Javascript. Chances are, you have at least enjoyed something about it so far, or are absolutely required to use it for some reason.
Of course many current Javascript users want it to be their main programming language.
I love this survey for so many reasons, and this is an incredibly small point. Personally, I think that a good Javascript tool, framework, flavor, whatever, should be able to easily integrate with other technologies. I really enjoyed Angular for that reason (yet to dive into React). I think the idea of "JAVASCRIPT EVERYWHERE" is just really unneeded. Yes, we are stuck with Javascript as a language. Yes, it should be more than a simple afterthought on top of other tech. Making Javascript better and safer doesn't mean you have to do it everywhere, because ubiquitous Javascript doesn't matter if the different dependencies are completely different anyways.
The last part is only my opinion, but I wanted to add it because I think the survey's nature is going to exclude many people with it.
It would be interesting if they'd also asked "How many other programming languages do you know besides JavaScript?"
And compared how many people want JavaScript to be their main programming language because they only know one programming language and don't want to learn another, with how many people know multiple programming languages and would rather program in JavaScript as their main language because they like JavaScript better.
Its interesting because the reason I think "JAVASCRIPT EVERYWHERE" is valid is because I think "EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE" is valid. Don't get me wrong, some languages are incredibly domain specific and don't make a tremendous amount of sense at all parts of the stack (and some parts of the stack should have domain specific languages), but JavaScript is a general purpose language, that has some interesting things to offer different domains (whether it be server development, app development, etc), but most importantly... SO DO MOST OTHER LANGUAGES! I would love a world where I could choose from most general purpose languages for most tasks. I haven't found many reasons other than "why?" for being against JavaScript being everywhere. I know that if I was a Ruby guy I'd certainly like it if I could use Ruby in as much of the stack as possible, and I think that's totally reasonable. For example, I applaud transpile-to-JS languages so that you can use a language of your choice for the browser (vs thinking "why do we need Clojure everywhere!").
