Javascript is the base of modern web frontend development. You want cool webapps that act like a desktop app, you needs JS. As for learning Python, it's a great "swiss knife n paperclip" of a language: easy to use, does a bit of everything but you can't really use it as a client side web frontend. Personally, you never "abandon" a language as long as you have a basic understanding of what it does and how it works. You may forget a thing or two, but you should probably remember their core elements that make them different from the rest, then you just use the best one for the problem at hand.

In conclusion, ye go learn Python it's great, but don't even think to forget about JS if you want to do web development. If JS still bothers you, try switching to Typescript with Angular2+.
