Gotta say, ive done magical things in Javascript. NodeJS in particular can do damn near anything you set your mind to, and it doesnt give a damn if you use tab or 4 spaces.
They do share a significant commonality, though; they are both interpreted languages, rather than compiled. Sure, you can compile them, but they are meant to be run interpreted so you can quickly and easily tweak and change things and not have to wait for compilation to see the results. In that regard they are very comparable.
Easy to learn, hard to master, used for things it wasn’t created for.
Yep.
I think Python gets a point here, as it is very good at doing what it was created for.
Javascript even sucks at its stated goal.
You don’t master Javascript, ever. You just become accustomed to the madness and stop caring, while sometimes doing things right.
I agree.

For real, you really can do anything there, sometimes sacrificing efficiency, but still.
so, like 90% of all programming languages
what was the original goal of python?
sssssssssssssss
The goal for Python 3 was to be an all purpose language that the general population could use for their everyday computing tasks
What was it created for?
Looking nice and upsetting people.
That tracks
Can confirm
But they’re both programming languages…
That’s the joke
It’s implying js isn’t a programming language because web stuff isn’t real programming
Web stuff is like 99% of all programming across the world, but okay.
Don’t get mad at me I’m just explaining it
