I don't like many things and like other things. All in various degrees. So I shared my experience.
But you seem to be interested in what I like, so I'll share more. I would say, in general I am not really a "$X language" developer. A lot of people say "Oh, I am a Java developer" or "A Node developers". I am not a Python developer, or Erlang developer. I am a developer who solves problems. And languages are tools ( so far I used Javascript in the past, as well as Erlang, Java, C++, C#, and yes, even FORTRAN ).
The point about Python was that currently, most tasks I had to do, were made quicker and easier by using Python. Some are solved better by Erlang, some by C#.
Javascript and Node I found had enough negatives so it seemed helpful to share that too.

I didn't know this was Javascript land and I wasn't allowed to come in without proper credentials. (See note about "friendly community" regarding Elixir in my original post, that wasn't by accident. I didn't want to say anything more about Node community, but I will now -- yeah it is not the friendliest, lost of insecurity and angst in it, which was another turnoff to me personally).
On the flip side, I can see why developers in other languages may feel a bit defensive too. They see this language that they have a poor opinion of start to eat into everything, including server side, and potentially threaten livelihoods. Its an emotionally charged area. JavaScript: The Good Parts is getting on for a decade old, things have changed so much. With ES2015 and beyond JS is becoming a pretty cute language, it's slowly starting to enable a really nice functional style, try and write a project or two in it sometime, see what you think :)
It's great you like Python. Use a Python framework. You can point out Javascript's warts and we can laugh at the Python 3 migration. (And really, both of these criticisms are out of date. Javascript is _fine_ these days and Python 3 is moving towards backwards compatibility; sure Javascript has warts, but that's because it's backwards-compatible. You know, like... never mind.)
