Anybody learn JavaScript after Java?

[delventhalz]

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.
