Are we really comparing Python to JavaScript "as they are"? What make you choose a language instead of another one is the environment. Would you use a library-less python? Is Node.js cool because it's JavaScript, or it's cool for the miriad of libraries and traction it has? And BTW, I'm not saying a transpiled JS is clearer than Python, I'm saying that a functional approach to classes (Haskell way) is impossible in JS as it is, and that transpilers (think of Row, LiveScript...) solve that problem de-sugaring it. Nothing more than that. I love Python, I love JS. But would you love Python if you were locked down to Python 2? JavaScript must be backward compatible to keep its "web" role. Please stop confusing languages with environment.
