Obviously you're not too familiar with the Java regular expression library, any of the Java XML processing libraries or many of the string processing functions in Java.
JavaScript is slow and inefficient and is only made a useful solution for doing things like processing XML because of fast CPUs and large amounts of memory. JavaScript is not any easier to write than Java. It has a number of convenience features, but with a modern refactoring IDE, Java is a much more capable and easier to develop, debug and test in. No scripting languages will magically fix your GUI component, threading or optimization issues, or testing of those issues, which are the major problems when writing front end applications.
