As for JS I don't think it's very important anymore, because it always had severe cross-browser compatibility issues and many people have JS disabled. Flash is even worse. As for Java I'm not sure. What do you guys think about Python and Lua? Both seems pretty popular.
JS is been used more and more on other platforms, though. With node.js JS is used for server-applications now and many platforms allow running JS code in some way, such as the pebble, i think the esp and arduino, too.

As for JS in the browser, the cross-compability issues are becoming fewer and fewer, and simply because it is on by default most people don't turn it off. Only a very small minority use an addon such as noscript to filter it.
I'd say these days websites rely way more on JS than they used to, e.g. mobile reddit doesn't work at all with JS, I encounter quite often websites that don't work at all with JS disabled and like YouTube requires JS and such stuff. It seems more like JS seems to be replacing flash, which is IMO a good thing.

Anyhow, just my thoughts ^.^

This is a signature.
And now......give me an internet!

To be or not to be.........is that even a question? Who gets to decide this anyways?

I pretty much agree on that.
Doing the multi-browser-compatibility by hand is still pretty much of a drag, which makes more users switch to stuff like jQuery and Bootstrap for their websites. That way compatibility problems as well as the amount of work can be minimized, sadly making many websites look rather similiar :/

It's fun. It is kinda tough finding a way to package apps, because it made for web design, but there are a few tools for it. Making an application is super easy as well, :D
