just my 2c but py is honestly one of the worst languages and ecosystems i’ve used in my life.

for all the hate js used to get, py is at least a few magnitudes worse.

my opinion ofc. don’t get mad xD



I'm not mad, but curious - I use Python for years and only dabbled with JS. Could you elaborate what makes Python magnitide worse than JavaScript?


Don't mind the web designers calling themselves engineers.

There's a lot of annoying issues with Python, but compared to the billions of dollars and thousands of man hours that has been spent trying to fix Javascript and how horrible it still is, it's a perfectly cromulent language.


There are two kinds of languages, ones that people complain about and ones nobody uses.


Webmasters would like a word


cool insult, yet i chose those 2 languages exactly because they're popular and horrible as examples.

let me guess you work somewhere that hired you to bikeshed all day


Not OP, but dependency management, for one.



JavaScript has its share of wtfs, so I wonder how much of it is which one someone experienced during some formative window in their learning.

Did you encounter JS first?


Glass house? Was Python written in a bar?
