There are many OPs that assert that JS syntax/lang are beautiful once you get handle of it, and may be it is...
However, there may be enough people like myself for whom the JS syntax/lang just do not fit into the brain. Since at my last job of CFO of $200+m pharma country org I have architected multidimensional db for an OLAP cube for SAP Business Objects, I do not think that I am that dumb. But this JS stuff just does not fit in.
Also, I do value my time. So although I could persist in learning JS, as a general rule when things do not flow - the learning time multiplies. I do not have time.
Hence, personally I would love to be able to write/maintain code in Python [even subset of Python would be fine], knowing that it cleanly compiles to JS. It will be then my choice whether I want it client-side or server-side [smth like what css pre-processors SASS/Less are doing].
