Fall in love with Python all over again (A comparison with Javascript)

Python and Javascript are quite similar in many ways. Looking at Javascript ES6 (the latest Javascript standard) and comparing it with Python you may even think that they are similar enough that it doesn’t really matter which language you choose, and after all JS runs in every browser! The reality is far more complex.

This talk will go through many standard Python constructs and compare them with the equivalent constructs in Javascript, old and new. It will also introduce tools that help bring some familiar Python concepts into the Javascript world, if you ever need them. Even if you have no interest in Javascript, this talk might enhance your knowledge of Python features by contrasting them with a different implementation of the same idea.

Whether you’re a new programmer that is curious about which language you should use for your next project or you’re an experienced programmer that is just curious about what’s going on in the Javascript world, this talk is for you.
