Looks like (so far) nearly half the people shown wound up at twitter. Apply to twitter first?

If you have no JavaScript these days then largely you can forget job hunting. If you have awesome, expert, deep, deep JavaScript then firstly you might as well be a unicorn but secondly, you will get a job.
Should probably clarify that it's only important if you're looking for Web jobs :-) Sometimes people here forget there's more to software than the web.

Good thing there's still going to be a future in non JavaScript web development. Bring on Web Assembly. Those who dislike what JS has become over the last 5-10 years will just use their own stuff and can finally just ignore JS completely.
And even when WebAssembly comes along, the best language to program it in is one that naturally requires asynchronous programming, because web browsers are heavy on network traffic and UI interaction and both those things need asynchronous programming.
Other languages like Python have asynch programming but I would suggest that the pervasive nature of asynch in JavaScript will continue to make it a leader in WebAssembly.
I'm a recruiter and I sometimes say that "recruiting is the business of rejection". At any given moment I might have between 5 to 20 possible jobs that I'm searching for people for. In a given week I might receive 1,000 applicants. It is incredibly hard to get anyone into a job and often great people are rejected for various reasons. The Business of Rejection - that's recruiting.

A very interesting phenomenon indeed that all these, excuse my French, "rejects" wound up at TWTR, can we deduce something concrete from this about the company's hiring policy or offerings quality?

Is that really true? In the page some report that Google and other companies that aren't ALL web require you to know JS.

More likely that coworkers at Twitter are telling each other about this site and encouraging them to post.
