</div>Python is a better language, but at this point in time, if they can<br>
only pick one, JavaScript is a better business decision. Plus, as of<br>
ES5, JavaScript is actually quite usable. The JavaScript language<br>
itself is not bad (with some bizarre quirks), but the DOM APIs that it<br>
is usually bound to taint people's opinion of the language.<br>

</div>No, they couldn't, assuming they stopped distributing it as well.<br>
However, until we know more about the fate of Microsoft's IronPython,<br>
it's all just speculation.<br>
