I think you're vastly overstating the case saying these languages will die..

The majority of code we write runs on servers, even if its ultimately in service of a mobile/web client. Even if mobiles didn't support them, that doesn't mean these languages will die. The servers still have to run.

Creating the tools to run them on mobile is a solvable problem. Rust is already supported in the Android platform [1]. It takes more work to write an application in a non-standard language but its doable. Just saying don't worry about every other language dying out because of mobile, that won't happen :P

Sometimes you need to wake up people. Because I don't want to live in a world where we have Javascript in the frontend and in the backend. But this is going to happen if the creators of other programming languages are continuing to ignore development for mobile apps.
