And of course next to JS, you have C#, Asp.Net, Ruby, Python, and Go.
I'd say that given that:
- a lot of people only know JS (like designers)
- JS has a monopoly on the front end and is the only language that can be used on the front and back
- JS has existed for as long as Java (C#, Ruby and Go are way younger)
- there are JS materials everywhere given the web popularity
- the web is the most popular plateform in the world
The fact, as a freelancer going from company to company, I see so little JS on the server compared to other languages tells a lot.
