@eob - same problem, couldn't reply directly to you.
My main reason for liking Python isn't that it's compact and manageable (unless by compact, you mean the code one writes), but because I like the elegance of the language.
You're saying you have to stick to strict conventions for JavaScript to be any good? That would imply that it isn't any good to me. I use it, frequently, I just prefer not using it.

I think JS is more elegant than Python - just different tastes, I suppose. I find the crippled lambda unacceptable, and I don't like things like len() as a standalone function (in Python).
