Javascript is a great language with some mistakes. a lot of the mistakes (including some you mentioned) are fixed in Ecmascript 5. I programmed in Ruby from 2002 since 2009, and I am happy I switched to JavaScript: I prefer the syntax, I totally love prototipical inheritance, I love to object literal notation, and the use of closures everywhere.
> 2. Sorry, let me rephrase my point here. You can reuse code, but not all code. Any code you could reuse could also be re-used in another languages using tools like GWT, py2js, j2js, etc, mitigating server-side javascript's advantage here.
as I said, pure bs.
> 4.5.
JavaScript has some advantages and some disadvantages to Python. AppengineJS is for people who know JavaScript (just about every web developer) and do not want to learn Python. If you know Python, just stick with the Python SDK.
