It's just what you are used to. I dislike Python, I hate PHP, but I really like JS. I've seen people like PHP and hate Python too.
You see more JS hate because it's a more common scenario that people happy with PHP/Python/Whatever would be exposed to JS later, than the other way around.
You see a bit more Python hate lately because ML is all the rage and Python is to ML what JS is to the web.
All mentioned languages having some weird backwards compatibility quirks doesn't help either.
I find it good that people are trying to port their favorite languages, although personally I'd stay on the happy path for the target platform. Especially the browser, as it already has weird APIs, JS or not.
- amitport 5y agoI agree, I was fluent in JS and other languages before learning python and hated it for a while. Eventually, you get used to the bad parts of any language so they become mostly transparent (and every language has bad parts). Specifically, now that I'm very much OK with both python and JS I find transpiling one to the other kind of pointless in terms of any language property (can make sense in terms of ecosystem).
