That's a pretty esoteric list. Javascript would have been a better choice because of widespread deployment by multiple vendors and heavy legacy.

Javascript is still pretty young (comparatively) however I do believe you'd be right in saying that its likely to be around for a very long time.

Interestingly, Javascript is just as old as Java, and Python is older.

Python kinda dies each major release though, there is no backwards compatability goals.
