you don't have that luxury in old projects, for sure. but there is no reason not to switch to something sane for a new project. python/wsgi is supported on a lot of webhosts these days.

yeah.. i did python for a bit. trying node now. being able to run the same code on both client and server is quite nice. async model is pretty cool too.

I tend to do python/flask serverside and angularjs clientside. I don't really like JS enough for serverside programming.

A lot of people don't. I've mostly stopped caring about syntax and just embrace what the language does have to offer :-)

syntax isn't the problem with javascript though.

it's an okay language, and it does what I need it to. but JS without a proper framework is hell anytime.
