I get why JavaScript can be terrible but at least there’s TypeScript.
I’d argue Python suffers from the same problems but hasn’t got anything comparable to TS for keeping types in check and can’t autoformat well because whitespace is syntactically meaningful.
In that way I think Python is worse to write maintainable code with.

Python has Mojo
A quick search showed me that’s mainly for AI, or can it be used for general scripting too?
I’ve made an entire website for a project off python. It’s a general purpose programming language
This. And additionally, JavaScript perhaps has one unlikely advantage: Churn for the sake of following trends.
