Tried Python first then switched to JavaScript for a project. Night and day difference.
I was learning Python for a month. Doing small scripts and stuff. Then I needed to build a simple webpage tool. Python was a pain to get working in a browser. Switched to JavaScript and had a working prototype in 3 days. Way easier for front end stuff. Has anyone else hit that wall with one language and found a better fit?

Started with Python too and after three days of fighting Flask I had a JS prototype running in one afternoon.

Python is great for learning programming concepts but it gets messy when you need to actually make things people can click on. JavaScript just works for web stuff from the start.
