I program professionally in both languages and in my experience the two are very different when it comes to functional programming. FP is viable in JavaScript, if imperfect. And as the language continues to evolve to better support that paradigm its community continues to embrace it. But Python’s choices seem to be actively antagonistic to FP. I’d like to be able to use a functional approach in Python when it makes sense but it’s too hard, too awkward, too flawed, and too against the grain of the language.
I’d agree in the sense that JavaScript gives you poor out-of-the-box support but it definitely can be shaped into something pleasant. Python will make you hate yourself if you try, yes.
