> Sounds like he likes js because it's easier to use callback hell with multiline anonymous functions.
Sounds like you're more pissed off at the article because it contradicts your views than anything else. Sounds like you didn't even pay full attention to it.
Yes, those who assumed I meant you can't pass an anonymous multi-line function to another were obviously right -- it dazzles me people spent so much time arguing over this point. There's not much else to it.
I'll just say: that's definitely NOT the sole reason -- I point out several other factors that weighed in my decision in making JS my #1 choice. Above all, after seeing a few successful large projects deployed (and no issues in production), I just came to trust the Node.js stability and ecosystem.
You can pass a function as a callback or something else in python. You just give the function a name then pass it. No function literals.
Also he's talking about async/await in koa... does this fool realize that async/await is built into python?
I'm proficient in both python and js and I have to tell you, python is light years ahead of js in terms of language design.
