This scientific programmer (python/R/C) thanks you for an amazing resource. I have been looking to augment my Python knowledge with a new, faster scripting language. Lua(jit) was my first choice, but JS is so fast these days, and is so strong on visualization, that it is now supplanting Lua for me as first choice. But the JS ecosystem is so vast, so full of "offshoot dialects" (jquery, coffeescript, ES6, Typescript, not to mention all the frameworks) that it is quite daunting for a beginner. This therefore is exactly what I was looking for. You've just spoken for my Christmas break!
