I don't care; and as for “genius”, that remains to be seen.

So far I consider it junk.  Prove me wrong.

I don't care.  You have claimed that it could be used to “translate” Python 
to “Javascript”, whatever you think the latter is.

I have to think of RapydScript as a program written by people who do not 
know ECMAScript for people who do not know ECMAScript, like yourself, by 
now.

You do not appear to have the slightest clue what you are talking about.

I don't care.  The ECMAScript code produced by it is not equivalent, 
therefore useless.  One can write better ECMAScript code without it.

You have failed to give me sufficient incentive to do that.

Apparently you have much to learn.
