I agree with the core teams decision not to extend javascript. However, I do think node has massively increased the use of js as a server side language. Since there is now a large audience that can immediately implement the latest version of js - as opposed to leaving the new features untouched on the vine for years - and that audience now includes Microsoft as well as all the major players in the js game, my hope is that the pace of core language development will increase to fill demand.
