I think Python gets a point here, as it is very good at doing what it was created for.
Javascript even sucks at its stated goal.

You don't master Javascript, ever. You just become accustomed to the madness and stop caring, while sometimes doing things right.

what was the original goal of python?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The goal for Python 3 was to be an all purpose language that the general population could use for their everyday computing tasks
