I don't think I've seen anyone directly address this, but my instinct tells me that here on the 'verse most people think "Python is good" and "Javascript is bad".
I believe the former comes about because of Python's ubiquity and prevalence in the scientific community, and the latter to be a distaste for Javascript bloating the web, and now desktop apps with Electron).
What do you think? Feel free to discuss in this thread.

This is a good debate. Personally I find myself a beginner in both Python and JS. I use JS more as I do more web development. As much as I'm enjoying it, I'm also aware of the negative aspects, and I wouldn't use it if it created a barrier to accessing my content etc. If it doesn't add value (and isn't ethical), I can't justify using it.
