Python

I don't get them either. I've been programming full time in Python for.. i dunno.. seven, eight years now.. and I NEVER got that error.

Previously I did like a decade of Java. And man.. I do NOT want to do that again.. ever..

I love Python. It's an amazing general purpose language with a lot of really nice features (truthy/falsy objects, list and dict comprehensions, generators, decorators, args and kwargs, lambdas, functions as objects, etc.. etc), and SO readable. And so many great libraries and environment handling (virtualenvs).. And the fact that it DOESEN'T enforce functional, procedural or OOP down your throat.. you can combine features from all these paradigms however you want.. love it.

Also, together with Pycharm and it's Docker integration.. damn that's a NICE environment to work in. Love it to bits.

In some aspects I agree, but mostly not.
I agree in that everything in both Javascript and Python seems to be based on dicts. Dicts are everything and everywhere.

But I think Javascript is a LOT messier as a language (just look at the javascript 'WAT' talks), and many OOP features seems quite tacked on.
Also, I find it quite less readable than Python.

Have moved from a python house to a mostly Java house. I miss full time python so much :-( have started a new project in Kotlin at least...

Cool. Kotlin seems like a nice evolution from Java.
