Of course they are both needed and they are not really in direct competition. This is to say that Python can co-exist with Javascript beautifully and thus they are good friends, but honestly, python in my opinion is ten times more intuitive.

Ready for the flags!

I remember, back in the back when, messing with some scripts. There used to be a big community of MIRC users that contributed with snippets, battle scripts, administrative scripts, etc for what was then: "The Place to Chat!" - Times have surely changed, haven't day?

At any rate, as I'm digging my claws into python more and more, working on this little API bot of mine, I keep on remembering that scripting language, since it had that ease of deduction too. Maybe I'm not alone on this one, maybe I am, who knows. But this was super fun to me when I was a teenage nerd.

My assumption

I'm thinking that if any project is to apply these two languages perfectly or as close to perfect as possible, it would be by using Javascript only for the last miles so to speak. That is to say, do all the backend stuff, the heavy lifting, the calculations, the security layers, all that in python, and then just do the user interface on javascript and call it a Sunday.

I'm sure that a Javascript fan right now is going to correct me and tell me that you can do everything on JS, and yes, I know that to be true, but the better question is: Why? is there an advantage, I can't seem to see one at the moment, but I would not mind being wrong.

Beem is pretty awesome

For someone who is just getting back into this seriously, I'm quite impressed on how easy beem makes interacting with the STEEM blockchain. I don't think Hive account@holger80 gets enough credit for making it.

Before I forget, I recently added the first legs of my memo api script to github and I'm going to keep on adding features as time permits.

If you do checkout the code, please forgive my transgressions, as I am relearning how to ride the bike so to speak. Soon enough it won't take me a whole day to workout a replay (what I'm doing today) in case the bot crashes, but for now, I'm like the turtle, slow and steady.

Good thing there is no race, right?
