You're making a mistake of putting a box around "JavaScript the Language" -- even admitting a concession of "HTML and DOM" you miss the point: Lua and Python do not have billions of devices able to download and run their applications. Python and Lua don't have that by a long shot.
- yoz-y 8y agoThat was my point. JS has a huge advantage in the ecosystem but not many as a language itself. If we compare pure Node with Python then I think python is better for learning as it has less weirdness to it. You are right though. Such comparison is only useful as a mental exercise as in the real world the browser and js are intimately tied.
