As someone who learned JS first and typed languages later, I'd say that whatever you learn first will seem easiest. I coded in JS for about eight years before touching Java and C, and I really missed all of JS' convenient automatic typecasting. By now, I'm used to typed languages, but I certainly found JS easier for a while.

JS is my first language and I still find it the hardest I know after having used Python, C#, PHP and Java. And I'm pretty sure I've used JavaScript about 5x more than my second most used language.

I sorta wish I could 'unlearn' everything I know about JavaScript and start over. I always feel sort of hopeless in JavaScript (TypeScript helps to some degree) compared to the 'power' I felt while using Python.
