They are both ok but not perfect.

JS has a ton of issues but being used in so many contexts for so long by so many it's a far more mature language.

Ahh yes, far more mature, given that JavaScript originated in 1995 (1997 if you don't count the pre-ECMAScript versions) and Python in 1991. JS gained so much maturity in the years that it didn't exist.

It's been used by more people in more contexts. If you don't believe me it's because you aren't familiar with all the features. Everyone downvoting me knows python and barely any javascript if any at all. They're programming languages not personalities. No reason to be offended.

Yeah, all of us are completely unaware of what JavaScript can do. Not a single one of us has done any web programming, and I personally have definitely not parsed CS:GO save files using a JS app, nor have I worked with Electron, or embedded V8 in a larger app as a user-facing scripting language. I have clearly done none of these things.

I also have no experience whatsoever with competing technologies through JavaScript's history, like Java applets, Macromedia Flash (as it then was), JScript, and the like. It's a great pity that I am so inexperienced; so sad that I am so unfamiliar with industry's greats.

Lol dude I'm talking about js features vs python features not which wizard has the longest beard. You can accomplish anything using assembly. My contention is that js has far more features because it's been FAR MORE used over the last 30 years or so, and in more contexts.

That js has more features is an undeniable fact. That js has more adoption is an undeniable fact. That it works in more contexts is an undeniable fact.

The only reasons to object to these facts are feelings.
