I'm not sure if you meant this tongue-in-cheek or not.  The main problem 
with your proposal is that it would break existing code. This seems like 
a really flip way to address that concern.  I suspect even the hip young 
kids would like existing code to keep working.

map() isn't even used much in Python, since most people prefer list 
comprehensions.  There really are many differences between Python and 
Javascript, which go much deeper than the order of arguments to built-in 
functions.  You are in a multi-lingual world.  Accept it.
