I find the severe breakages and insanities of Javascript (such as tracking what `this` is) take much more brain-space than Python ever did, personally.

That "this" business is absolutely ridiculous. The fact that Javascript remains the SOLE language to script browsers in 2012 really really pisses me off. It is not a very good language in terms of design (even though it's been proved to be quite efficient and capable in the past few years).
