What a weird argument. C is not "better" than Javascript, it is vastly worse for the vast majority of current Javascript uses - where raw performance is a less important consideration than development time.

Javascript is far from perfect, but it has improved by leaps and bounds the last few years. WebAssembly is great, but a variant of Javascript or other high-level languages will continue to dominate web development, not C. People aren't going to "escape" from Javascript to C, except certain niches where performance is vital.
