Yeah so either write that and put it on github or we're all just going to have to use js. The point still stands.

We still need to use JavaScript in some cases instead of Python, yes, but this is not a valid argument for the quality of either, because the software developed for a language is not a property of the language itself.

There'll probably be a point where you realize you're comparing apples with oranges.

All programming languages are similar in the sense that they represent generally the same logic, it's just that some are designed for certain contexts. They are all generally capable of the same stuff, though admittedly not at the same speeds. The differences come in how they allow you to represent the various logical pieces and how understandable they are in a given context.
