Python also has plenty of stupid edge cases while being less functional, flexible but more complex than JavaScript. My theory is that Python gets good press because nobody has to use Python, so the people who don't like it just use a different language instead of complaining. Obviously, this does not hold for JavaScript. If you're going to complain about language choices, don't force everybody on Python! I can't comment on Ruby because I have never had to use it. What would be perfect is Scheme in the browser. And, apparently, we almost had it except marketing or management forced Eich to make it look like Java resulting in JavaScript.
