Depends who's code you have inherited. Agreed Python is a lot more pleasant than Javascript, but people still write some horrible stuff.

But does Python back-end code scale like Javascript?

Are you saying that you can't scale code because it's in Python? And JavaScript would solve the problem?

You can scale Python apps just fine (though obviously it depends a lot on the problem as how you go about that)

Sure, I meant for greenfield projects.
