> There's no Pythonic analog in JavaScript and there are still many useful libraries and applications. Yes, that's exactly my point, there are many of them, none of which really have the same sort of universal buy-in, because people are constantly disagreeing about .forEach vs. for loops, or promises vs. callbacks, or whatever. Boost has very strict guidelines about its approach to design and implementation[1] -- it even quotes the Zen of Python. I didn't say that the concept of "Pythonic" is necessary to implement high-performing and widely-used libraries. I am merely contradicting your unsubstantiated assertion that the concept is harmful.
