I don't really want to stoke a language war, but if it truly isn't immediately obvious to you why a language like Python is less of a mess than JS (which lacks fundamental things like "packages"), then you aren't done with Python yet.

I don't mean that to be rude. It's just...the bar is very low here.

you mean, the future version of javascript that nobody uses yet has modules:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Referen...

meanwhile, everyone else uses one of the sixteen competing implementations of something that was built-in to any real language starting in the 70s. that's not a mess at all.

Seems like a typical response by a non-JS programmer that doesn't really understand where JavaScript is at these days.
