Language preferences are mostly a matter of personal choice. JavaScript is the language of choice for many developers. However, for others, it is Python. They are equally correct.
Here, we will compare both on different grounds, and specifically compare JavaScript to Python with Transcrypt.
Typically, there is one and only one Transcrypt application attached to a particular URL or page. The application uses its own namespace and may have multiple entry points or callbacks attached to DOM components.
In JavaScript, components can be requested from anywhere on the web during a page load, and small code fragments can make requests anywhere on a web page.
Transcrypt code is processed in advance so pages load fast. In this regard, it is designed differently as compared to the fly compilations on browsers.
Transcrypt is used in coding real-world web applications that load and run as fast as their JavaScript counterparts but offer Pythonically clean, modular structure and maintainability.
Let’s compare Python and JavaScript code.
class class_a:def __init__ (self, a):self.a = adef show (self, label):print ('show a', label, self.a)a = class_a(1924985745)a.show('passcode')
Here is the JavaScript code for the above Python code.
class class_a {constructor(a) {this.a = a;}show(label) {console.log("show a", label, this.a);}}const a = new class_a(89754234567);a.show("passcode");
Here is the JavaScript code generated by Transcrypt.
var __name__ = "__main__";export var class_a = __class__("class_a", [object], {__module__: __name__,get __init__() {return __get__(this, function (self, a) {self.a = a;});},get show() {return __get__(this, function (self, label) {print("show a", label, self.a);});},});export var a = class_a(1924985745);a.show("passcode");
