You are conflating two questions:

1. What percentage of JavaScript/front-end web developers are familiar with any other programming languages?

2. What percentage are familiar with a certain specific subset of other programming languages, namely functional or functional-ish languages with pattern matching as a core construct?

And you're treating an answer to (1) as an answer to (2).
