These arguments are terribly heuristic. The full stack of software included in any significant JavaScript app is big and complicated. There are already runtime differences, and we aren't saying that those make JS unusable. There is not going to be a big 3->4 migration any time remotely soon. No 'version hell'. The current story for Python compatibility is certainly much worse!
- ufo 14y ago> The full stack of software included in any significant JavaScript app is big and complicated. But those are libraries under your control at least. The "problem" with Python is that the language itself is big. Normally this is a non-issue, since you can upgrade your interpreter version when your code stack supports it but on the web you don't get that luxury because you are forced to use whatever interpreter the users have.
