I think JS is actually a radically simpler language than either Python or Ruby. Lua is a much closer comparison, and its certainly got a nice interpreter and JIT available.

I'm not familiar with Python, but Ruby SEEMS a whole lot more complicated than JavaScript, in syntax and how you can manipulate code.


I probably agree with you, I was just wondering if there was some more concrete justification.
