If you're more interested in web development or working on the front end, go with JavaScript. If you're leaning towards data analysis, machine learning, or backend development, Python might be the better choice.

I think python is great if you don't understand programming syntax and want to learn as you write. I liked how learning python also forced me to move onto other languages when I started running into limitations. If I started with JS I feel like I would have just stuck with JS and it's frameworks. I'm learning JS finally because it's so good at frontend and that will be my place for it while I learn GO for the backend. Right tool right job.

I paused to read the zen of python and I love it!

Both of them are frontend languages, JavaScript for Web and Python for Data Science.
