Great points. I think Javascript will be the de facto programming language in the next few years.

Reminds me of what Jeff Atwood, founder of Stack Overflow, half jokingly said:

Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.

I totally agree. JavaScript is beggining to be used for almost everything on the web, for better or worse. As a result, people are making new libraries, and new frameworks to pave the way for new uses of the language. Jeff Atwood's statement may very well turn true quite soon, if it isn't already.
