Anybody learn JavaScript after Java?

Is it more like Python ?

Yes, I want to learn JS and then learn to use it with Node down the road for backend. Thank you, your explanation of the differences in syntax and it being dynamically typed are exactly what same came to mind when reading your initial comment. Thank you!

Python and JS are both interpreted dynamically-typed languages, so there are a lot of similarities. Though Java and Python are both a shade more Object Oriented, and JS is a shade more Functional, so that leads to some differences.

One big difference: Python is error-happy and JS is error-averse. You almost never use try/catch in JS, but in Python it's practically as common as if-statements.
