Personally I find objects having hasAttr()-Functions more readable and in combination with callable() even better - but here I venture into syntactic sugar area. The explicit possibility to overwrite the internal "magic" methods in python perhaps just fits my brain better ;-)
Really astonishing is the performance of V8 reached with such a free-wheeling language as JS, so I have it more on my radar than in the last decade...
