Is it my imagination or is Python a bit cleaner language than JavaScript

Some of the latter JavaScript course seemed a bit... like there could be a better way. Kinda like how you can do things with css that you can do with JavaScript but it takes a lot more cajoling. I'm thinking that maybe Python can do things that JavaScript can do...but cleaner. I'm hoping anyway. Just a thought...and a question.

There are many who say Python is the easiest language to learn. And I once saw Kenneth say this (although he might be slightly biased) :smiley: "it really is designed to be as little of a context switch from thinking to coding as possible". I've also heard other people describe it as "something close to executable pseudo code".

So I'd say with some certainty that you're not the only one who feels this way. :sparkles:
