This makes the "READ SICP" meme rather ironic ;)

I've dabbled in node a bit and have an odd idea that Javascript is much like Python with C syntax and a bit of quirkiness. I've got a ~400 line program that parses a Debian packages file and lays out build dependencies - sadly I hadn't learned of germinate at the time.

And having to change languages to scale the website further because you've Made It can be a good problem to have...



There is a subset of JavaScript that is Python-like with C-syntax. But at some point you're going to have to abandon that analogy and learn more idiomatic ways of working in JS.
