So.. The company I was working at until two weeks ago just called me because they don't understand the project I've been

Python is straightforward though, all programmers(and some non programmers) can read python and it doesn't take that long to learn enough to write it semi decently.

@ItsNotMyFault very easy to write it, very hard to write it well

@yusijs not quite sure. Can you really write JavaScript well?

@-eth as well as other languages I'd say for the most part.

This is of course assuming latest language features (ES7), and for perf using web workers etc.

Again - it's easy writing Javascript, but like PHP it's a language that a lot of people start off with, without understanding what they're actually doing.

@-eth as you can see, @tobbr is one of the guys who has no clue how modern JS works, doesnt learn, but still has an opinion about it.

@tobbr not at all, but given your comment you're either ignorant or trolling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and I didn't compare the languages directly, but they're both typical starter languages. Javascript cuz, well, no other choice, and PHP is the language most developers I know started out with, before moving on to other languages (e.g Java or .Net)

@yusijs @tobbr didn't mean to start a war, it was basically a joke. Just like Python, JS is a language often chosen by new learners and thus a lot of low-quality code can be found in both languages. Some inconsistencies, mainly in ES5 that I know of (not at all versed in ES7 as I work mainly in C) makes it a language a vit proned to frustration in more experienced developers.
