I'll be the first to admit that ES6 is nicer than Python in terms of the language itself. But I feel like it's still going to take years of heavy lifting to get the same level of high quality libraries, web frameworks, learning resources, etc. And it's hard for me to see js replacing Python as the obvious choice for beginners until that happens. It might be more fun to code in than Python, which is probably at least in part why there is more js code being written on github, but the larger ecosystem still seems like kind of a mess.
