Well, it's quite clear that JS is seeing a transformation at higher speeds, but a the same time I feel like the backend offerinngs are now more diverse and they do, too, evolve.

Spring in java is pushing somewhat on functional programming and lambdas are now another way to work in java, which means you can achieve a some kind of real func programming.

We have some beautiful newcomers like Elixir which are trying to fill a gab, so yeah: I think the JS world does seem like it's going faster (and it sure does until it reaches a "mature" state), but at the same time we have great evolutions across all the stacks.

Obviously not everything changes, some things stay the same, that's because we're looking at some mature technology and not the bleeding edge, but if we look at the outliers, I think you could easily pick at least an innovator around each backend language.
