I strenuously disagree. Not every language needs to chase trends and pile on unnecessary complexity because developers want the latest shiny language toys to play with. It's good to have a simple, stable language that works and that you can depend on to remain sane for the forseeable future.
C is a language like that but I fear the feature creep is coming (auto? AUTO??.) JS is a lost cause.
Languages are products as well, either they evolve to cater to new audiences, or they slowly die as the userbase shrinks away with the passing of each developer generation.
