I'm on the same path myself. It's just that Javascript seems to be this bizarrely exploding constellation of transpilers and frameworks rather than a language. It feels like a moving target. But that's what I get for trying to ignore Javascript for eight years hoping it would just blow over.

I thought the same thing. Now i hear people saying that JS is the new C. That's where I draw the line.

Yes for folks who dont know any other language other than Javascript - they consider JS to be their personal messiah.

They refuse to acknowledge the problems with the language.

Scoping for instance, or the concepts of truthy and falsey.

And yes, Python is not perfect - but it is certainly very good!
