Apr 4, 2022 · Being a professional C++/Python developer and having learned Javascript this week, I would personally learn Python in parallel with Javascript if doing web dev. Javascript's implicit conversions are not very principled imo and some of its syntax is a bit inconsistent.

Jan 25, 2023 · If you're completely new to the world of programming, learning Python will give you a slightly easier time; JavaScript has a whole bunch of quirks that are much easier to come to gross with if you have a better understanding of programming language concepts in general. But it's certainly not impossible, and JavaScript is very accessible. For UX ...

JavaScript developer here. I've work in JS and PHP professionally, but I've build many personal projects in Python. I would just say that if you're just at the beginning stages of your programming journey, mostly every language is the same. You're still trying to understand types, control structures, OOP, etc.

Dec 7, 2020 · As for ‘const’ or ‘var’, JavaScript variable declarations carry just a little bit more information about their scope and use than Python — languages like Java require you to explicitly indicate those types and abide by them — which can make it easier for you to think about what a given function requires and what it returns, what is ...

Mar 30, 2022 · Python is not per se slower than Javascript, it depends on the implementation. Here the results comparing node and PyPy which also uses JIT: > /pypy39/python brute.py 109.8594 ms N= 10000 result= 73682 > node brute.js 167.4442000091076 ms N= 10000 result= 67495 So we could even say "python is somewhat faster" ...

Javascript is primarily for client-side ( browser ), Python is primarily used for server-side - so they serve different needs ( disregarding the Python to JS converters and all ). I would recommend learning Python though, as it influenced ECMAScript and the syntax is very similar, both are object oriented, both are great languages.

May 29, 2023 · JavaScript you simply can't avoid if you're doing web, and while I personally wouldn't use it server side, there seems some weirdos doing that. Python, well for AI and data science Python is king of the hill, and you can't really avoid Python if you want to do anything related to data science or even general purpose data cum glueing..

Dec 29, 2021 · Personal experience: learned Python in university and when I started learning JS, I realized the basics are essentialy the same with slight modifications. But the general consensus seems to be that Python might be easier to learn at first. Tgen again, if you plan on focussing on webdev, you might want to start with JS

May 29, 2022 · Python is more popular in general, more object-oriented. Lua’s style is closer to JavaScript, though Lua uses metatables for things like OOP. I think Lua is easier to embed than Python, which is useful to add scripting to your game.

Jan 22, 2013 · Python will be conceptually easier for a beginner, and will do more to teach good habits to start with, but JavaScript will be more of an adventure and open up a lot of tricks for web development. So if you are brand new and want to make websites as well as other things, maybe learn Python and then JavaScript.
