That doesn't qualify as simple in my book though. Javascript has fewer concepts that programmers need to keep in their heads, but they are horribly inconsistent

That doesn't qualify as simple in my book though. Javascript has fewer concepts that programmers need to keep in their heads, but they are horribly inconsistent and quirky. Python, on the other hand, is consistently designed so that there are very few cases where you get hit with unexpected behavior.
- Skinney 13y agoWell, to be fair, most unexpected behaviour in js comes from people not knowing the language, or people expecting js to behave like other languages. I do agree though, that js does have its share of design quirks.
- chilldream 13y ago> most unexpected behaviour in js comes from people not knowing the language Isn't this just a rationalization? Any unexpected behavior is by definition something the user didn't know to expect.
- Skinney 13y agoWell yes. But in that case Haskell is full of unexpected behaviour for someone completely new to functional programming, as C++ is to someone used to Lisp.
