Just picked Python over JavaScript for my first real project

Honestly, I had to build a simple script to sort my photo files from a vacation. The choice was Python with its clear syntax or JavaScript to maybe make a web tool later. I went with Python because a free online course said it was better for beginners. After about two weeks, I got it working and it saved me hours of manual work. But now I'm wondering if starting with JavaScript would have been smarter for web stuff down the line. Did anyone else face this first language choice and regret it later?

Wait, you sorted photos with a script?

Yeah, the "script" was just me writing down steps in a text file because I kept messing up the folder names. It's basically a list that says "1. Find the bad photos, 2. Cry a little, 3. Put them in the 'trash' folder.
