I disagree... I came for the syntax and readability; I've stayed for the community.

  I suppose I like the readability too, but there are a number of things about the language I would rather had been done differently; I still insist that its approach to scope is worse than any choice except making everything global.

    I tend to recommend people refavtor their functions into smaller ones if scope is not clear, but I accept it's different from many of its predecessors.

    If the local/ global scooping rules are hurting you that much, you are probably putting more state in module-level variables than is healthy.

      It's not that: it's the hobbled function scope that doesn't handle nested functions the way I would expect and hope.
