Should I learn Python or JavaScript?

Now, both of these languages are a great choice. They do have different use cases.

Python is known for its simplicity and readability and it’s great language for beginners. It’s also great for doing backend web development, data science, machine learning and then automation task.

Now, on the other hand, we have JavaScript which is the go to language for web development allowing you to create interactive websites and applications. It’s also gaining a lot of traction in server side development. Thanks to NodeJs.

If you want to be a full stack or frontend web developer, then you should learn JavaScript. If you’re looking to do something else then, I’d probably recommend starting with Python. As you can always learn JavaScript after. Both of these are great options. It really just depends on what you’re doing. If you’re more into backend development, learn Python. If you’re more into the front end and full stack applications, learn JavaScript.
