What's missing with current FBP languages? Or missing with FBP based tools, IDE's, compilers, etc?
What's the top 3 reasons FBP isn't being used more, or everywhere?
Could FBP replace existing web and mobile languages, i.e. JavaScript?
Google Dart and Microsoft TypeScript are trying to replace Javascript, but seems very few people are taking the bait. ES6 has lots of advanced features from other more 'solid' languages. Facebook Flow adds typing to JS

So it looks like JS is here to stay for a while.

Yes I'm aware of the bad things javascript let's you do. Facebook Flow attempts to solve some of those issues. Also if you write clean code you can also avoid a lot of traps. I think the book is called Code Complete that talks about clean code.
Agreed that JS isn't as easy to work with as a strongly typed language. But I read that JS is the most used language today across the planet.
