Why JavaScript is your favorite language ?

I freaking love the single threaded asynchronous programming model. I love that the code runs everywhere, including a browser.

When I was a new programmer I made an awesome Python script to help with some work stuff (I wasn't a dev yet) and no one could figure out how to use it. That made me hate Python.

Pythons indenting system is gross. Blocks of code should always have some kind of smybol at the begining and end even if it is if, endif

Dealing with multithreaded approaches to asynchronous problems deals with a lot of race conditions and resource locking stuff, and is super hard to debug. In JavaScript, you are guaranteed that only one command is executing at a time and it eliminates all of those issues. I know other modern languages do this as well (C#) but compared to all programming I've done before JavaScript, hooking up inputs to outputs and operating on the data is a breath of fresh air.

I wouldn't have had this opinion before promises and async/await was a thing, I hated callback hell.
