I have been following language feature proposals from various languages. Some decide to avoid Python's route, but others have been trying hard to catch up with Python. One gleaming example is the switch case. JS recently proposed pattern matching, referencing Python and explaining why the proposal is a cool treatment of the usecase.
I'm not clear on what you mean here. JavaScript has had a switch/case construct since 1.2, in the late 1990s. As far as I can determine, python has no such thing, since PEP-3103 was rejected in 2007.
As a side note, if by scripting we mean OS commands, then Python started as a sysadmin language.
