Nevermind that Javascript has a hideous side too: http://callbackhell.com/ http://callbackhell.com/ And don't get me started with Java's verbosity. Half the time Java seems completely unusable without an auto-completing IDE. And in all honesty I am a big Python fan, but only because it seems like the lesser of all evils in programming. There are some great designs out there, but Python is that toolkit that just seems to be pragmatic enough to be useful and idealistic enough (hello, significant whitespace) to encourage expressive algorithm design.
