I don’t see anything mentioning it on the overview of Datacore, so I’m wondering if I missed it, or if this is something that won’t be moved over from Dataview. I use it in Obsidian specifically to get data from a csv file (as my other program gives me my compiled data that way), and it would be a bummer if datacore didn’t work.
And if not, I don’t mind using Dataview, but what are the chances of that being discontinued or breaking? I have ideas for a whole set up, but I’m a bit worried that after I implement it, it’ll stop working.
Dataview and Datacore can both be used with Javascript so the answer is yes.
As for what breaks and when, nobody knows.
As long as the metadatacache API is not changed, we’re supposed to be good, as far as I know.

I’ll try to keep dataview up and running, as long there are not major breakage arising from other Obsidian development, and I’m not to busy with real life.
Can I guarantee for how long? No, but that we don’t know for any of the plugins (or not really for the main code of Obsidian either). Life happens, and things change.
And I reckon that Datacore will support CSV-files at some n point, if not already supported. Dataview do definitely support it, and there also other plugins supporting it to some degree.
If concerned about the shelf life of community plugins, perhaps the upcoming core plugin Dynamic Views—which presumably will be supported for as long as Obsidian is maintained—would be a safer bet.
