The article was pretty good as a JavaScript commentary, up until the last line that name-dropped Python 3. I don't think the Python community has anywhere near the problems that the JavaScript community is having.

For example, there aren't languages trying to transpile to Python, they aren't trying to translate new Python language features into old ones at runtime (at least not like 3.5 into 3.0, but there is some mess in 2 vs. 3 such as six), they aren't trying to shoehorn assembly language into it, and there aren't a dozen ways to do HTTP requests or manipulate DOM or make packages.
