While you may be able to create amazing experiences in JavaScript, JavaScript still has multiple problems:

1. It is inconsistent [1]

2. It does not have many features that programmers love and other languages have.

3. It has a community that holds different values from what other programmers value themselves.

If people want to continue development in JavaScript, they can. But since JavaScript has a monopoly on the (fairly large) 'frontend development for the web' market, there will always be attempts to find an alternative.

1. I write both Python and JavaScript and find Python to be vastly more inconsistent. [1]

2. What are the missing JavaScript features that could be useful for web development?

3. I don't understand what you mean by this.

Finding alternatives are great. My point is that JavaScript/HTML/CSS are great and it's worth learning them if you want to work on frontends.
