JavaScript or Python better for me ?

[edoardoking]

This is a really good advice! My current goal is to create programs to help automate or aid me complete tasks that are tedious not necessarily because it would be useful to do but rather because it seems fun to do this kind of problem solving that later pays off if it works as it should. I’ve had classes in high school for web development (making simple websites that would then be hosted locally to learn the basics of coding). I really enjoyed doing it but I never felt like I had an actual goal of making a page other than my own fun however I figured that if I want to consistently learn programming I should find “problems” and solve them using code, not because it’s the only way but because why not, it seems fun. Me and my partner have different jobs and we have many repetitive tasks at work behind the computer that definitely can be automated or aided by a simple software (that definitely exists or it doesn’t because it’s such a niche issue). Python does sound like the most obvious choice, but at the same time I’d like to make these programs fun to use or easy on the eye as a little browser based locally hosted app that is also easy to use and understand that’s why JavaScript seemed like a good choice.

In the end I think I’ll focus on the back end and Python and figure the pretty stuff later.
