Performance for a few low-level languages yes (Rust, C/C++), but with the GC support stalled and even less developed language interop story, there isn't anything in the horizon that promises to make it a good platform for today's HLL's. Meanwhile there are many nice HLL's targeting JSVM with good performance.

I think the human friendliness transition happened already when most JS programmers started compiling their JS-version-du-jour to legacy-JS.
