&gt; In fact I&#x27;m pretty sure you&#x27;ll see more opening for C++ developers on the front-end than Javascript ones.<p>I would be happy to take a bet that this will <i>not</i> be the case.<p>The fact is that JS is much easier to learn than C++, has a broader ecosystem <i>in the browser</i>, is faster to write than C++ due to memory safety among other considerations, and is fast enough for app logic.<p>Think about it. C++ code has been supported for years on mobile. Yet Java&#x2F;Dalvik is king on Android, and Objective-C is king on iOS. JS is faster than both (in the case of Objective-C, JS property access is faster than Obj-C virtual method dispatch due to ICs). So I see no reason why this will not be true on the Web as well. Web Assembly is very needed and important, but JS won&#x27;t be going away.
