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).

Yeah that len thing's weird, I probably had similar thoughts when I started using Python, but got over it.

I don't use lambdas, so that doesn't carry into how I compare languages.
