After a year of using Node.js in production

TLDR;

Author actually wants to use Python. Used Node.JS regardless, for whatever reason.. It did not work the way Python works. Author is frustrated. Complains that JavaScript is not Python.

This. You can't apply some other language paradigms in every programming language just because it's the only thing you know how to do.

I love Python and hate JS as much as the next guy. But complaining that JS idioms do errors differently than Python idioms is stupid.

It's like saying

"JS is stupid because people use braces and whitespace to denote flow control"

Adopt the paradigm and see how well the technology fits it
