I wouldn't say it's hate towards JS but I think the evolution of JS vs the evolution of web and its use cases have not increased at the same velocity, latter being faster. JS has had to have a lot of scaffolding added to increase its use but WASM now comes in with the understanding of the modern requirements. However, I don't think it's either one or the other, it'll depend on the use-case.

I can't imagine JS will go anywhere anytime soon, especially since it still needs to be called from DOM manipulation,but the ability to code a full stack in a single non-JS language and run it at near-native performance is going to be very useful as more apps become web based and complex. Even from a skills point of view, you can now have backend and front-end developers skillsets are slightly more merged so easier to swap around resources.
