Python should replace JavaScript on the browser
Although I do believe Javascript is a mess, I'd have to disagree with that. The problem with Javascript and to an extent all client side code is that people uses as a everything tool not neccesarily the language being at fault. People should start to realize handling logic on the backend is perfectly fine and is often better as you don't need to send several megabytes just to load a simple web page. If we decided to replace Javascript with Python we just recreate the same problem that plagues the modern web.
This one is problematic. JavaScript has many flaws but it's design of continuing to run through errors is beneficial to front end web development where the developer has no control over the environment.
