I used to hate web frontend development. But now I’m realising I just hate JavaScript. Python is also interpreted meaning it can be hosted in a sandbox, also dymically typed, has dicts which baiscally use JSON syntax, supports multiple paradigms, etc. Instead of a language whose creators probably said “let’s make this language we named after Java a million times worse than Java”
Not as popular as it used to be, but I still maintain some CoffeeScript apps… even write new code in it.

You still have to know JS, but you might find it more palatable this way.
