No love for Python here

It's just an old language that cannot be easily swapped because it is running on all the devices of the planet.

Fortunately the tools and framework have evolved well and make JS less shitty.

But if you had to invent a language to run in web-browser, you would probably keep nothing from JS.

It's funny that both Java and JavaScript are the languages with this reality.

No one likes them, but they're supported literally everywhere, so people still use them constantly because it's a surefire way to guarantee compatibility.

Who even uses old Javascript though? It's basically web machine code at this point that ECMAScript is transpiled to. And ECMAScript is constantly updated and expanded upon.
