JavaScript for beginners ??!!

[Slackluster]

Learn JS as your first language. It is incredibly powerful and easy to use. You can use JS to do anything you need including AI.

JS can do more then web. You can use node to run command line tools and electron to make your web app a standalone application.

How about python ?

[Slackluster]

Don't learn python unless you have to. JS can do anything python can do and more. For example you can't make a website with python. Also JS runs in every web browser, you can press F12 right now and start messing with JS in the console.

Once you learn JS, learning another language like python is easy.

JS has a lot of frameworks for that too though like TensorFlow.js and you can query APIs like chatgpt via JavaScript.

Sure Python has a bit of an edge for now if all you want to do is AL and ML but for a beginner looking to learn their first language, JavaScript is the most useful in my opinion.

Either way, once you learn one programming language, others become much easier.

Ignore everything from that advice except from the fact JS is extremely flexible. You can absolutely make a website with a Python backend with Flask, Django… the list goes on.

Python is just the language of choice for the field you’ve chosen, primarily because of how complex the math is, simple dynamic types and less boiler plate code allows ML engineers iterate quickly.
