And at one time there was a browser written in pure Python called Grail. 
Sadly it died through lack of support. But you can still run Python in 
IE using WindowsScriptHost and as Walter mentioned there are more exotic 
ways of doing it too.

Guido didn't veto Python for browsers it's just hard to get the browser 
writers to support it so you need to resort to devious methods and 
technology.

And JQuery can look perfectly fine if its formatted correctly.
The problem is people often use compressors to remove extaneous 
characters from html and that tends to mangle the JScript code
to the point of unreadability.
