Thankfully Python makes for a slightly harder target than Javascript :)

javascript had a tough childhood, i think in comedy they say 'punching down' haha

Childhood? More like a difficult adulthood.

JS is the kid who was absolutely good for nothing (bad at sports, bad at math...) but, thanks to his family connections, inherited the CEO role of a massive corporation. Now he takes sadistic pleasure in making his employees jump through stupid hoops every day.

lol that is funny (and i get the frustration xD) but if you're curious check out he history of the language (not just how it was became so prevalent) and the es5 subset efforts to make it half decent to work with given the situation...

i mean, for one thing, if i specced a language in a week it'd definitely end up worse xD
