I am not sure if this topic is apropriate here, but indeed it would be very interesting to me read something about it here.
Personally I am almost exclusively involved in c coding (about 5 years of experience (maybe more depends of the way of counting)) never used high level languages to coding something like a small (or bigger) game,
Recently I interested myself accidentaly in some javascript language listings that seemed to me nice in some way (I think it looks much nicer than languages like java or c# ), prewiously I also knew python a little (but really not to much) -- so now those two languages javascript and python seem to me the two main candidates for writing some games in high-level-friendly way
(I do not argue that this is a better way of writng games than in low level c, it is worse because of performance and other things, but writing listings in such high level has some nice properties too)
My question is: if treating such languages javascript and python as competitors (both are high level, but both are very different ) which of them would be the better for game coding and why?
(the look of the listing/game source means the most here for me, If someone wants someone may assume that both languages would be working on top of the same framework, Im just curious in comparing the language itself the most)
(but on the other way the real frameworks and possibilities of the two languages and environments also may be compared - Is something potent to say something to me about this ?)
