That's sad!!!
but I think you overrate the importance of github and overestimate use of javascript. Of course, there's no good way to settle that question.
Actually there is. If you look at businesses that use Javascript every single small community has javascript programmers, one way or the other. Be it a web site company or a advertising company. All these businesses that dabble with Javascript one way or the other account for way more employees than the focused software engineering companies.
A quick search for open positions in norway shows that there are twice as many matches for "javascript" than for "c++". And usually such positions are more easy to fill.
