Python is worse about this proliferation, despite the advice of its built-in koan (see: `import this`).

Sure with JavaScript's library a-la-carte fashion there's a proliferation of idioms far beyond eg Ruby's hegemonic "convention over configuration", but nevertheless React is still more of a lingua franca than Flask/FastAPI/SQLAlchemy ever was or will be. The most popular Python libraries do a thing and otherwise proscribe nothing.

JavaScript idioms pare down the universe of possibilities in a way that some programmers find claustrophobic, and Python is the wild west!

I know it's popular to characterize JavaScript as the wild west, but in that case it's a proliferation of abstractions, whereas with python, it's a proliferation of implementations, ie primitive obsession.

But I'm really putting far too fine a point on these differences. In the grand scheme of things, they are nigh indistinguishable scripting languages.
