I love python and I'm really not sure why other compilers/interpreters ignore indentation since it's the de facto way of how people express structure in any computer language. Also when CS happened, JS didn't even have classes. Half of the ES6 features are CS inspired.

Classes in JS are still prototypical inheritance under the hood (and probably always will be). > Half of the ES6 features are CS inspired. This is rewriting history. Most of ES6 was under active development before CS was a thing. It's more accurate to say that the same modern languages features inspired both (with ES6 thankfully being less Ruby-like).
