There are quirks in every languages - python obviously included. And please, don't forget that you're using a very old version of the Javascript language. It's a little bit like if I'm arguing about the errors and quirks of Python 1.5. Languages evolve and learn from their mistakes. Unfortunately, old browsers are stuck with old javascript versions. Some people have to write code in java 1.4 or python 1.5, they aren't People who are good at [python or java] like [python or java] because it makes them special. And that being said, most people coming from [name your favorite language] believe that Javascript works the same way as their language. It's a different language and require a different knowledge. In fact, javascript' similarity to algol might be one of the biggest problem of the language. Have you tried working with C++ without learning the language? And here are some Python cool "features": def foo(x=[]): x.append(2) print x foo() foo() Guess x? To take your term "You lose". print 3/2 What's the result? If you answered 1.5, sorry, you're wrong. We're using Python <2.2 here, and it gives 1. Here's another one, what does it do: for i in range(10): print "*", print Is it ""? Sorry, a comma at the end doesn't include a "\n" but automatically insert a space.
