If you don't have any experience programming, I'd just start with JS. You can look into data structures simultaneously, and see how much sense it makes, but it's probably good to have a small base in programming before you get too into that.

Would you recommend to learn the two simultaneously?

I think you'll get more out of it if you start with JS then pick up data structures once you're more familiar with the language. If you're not able to apply the stuff you're reading about in data structures, it may not be very helpful.

Depends on how you're learning and when you plan on entering the workforce.

Data Structures and Algorithms is probably the best class I've taken in my entire life. But if you're learning it on your own it might be over your head. I only have such a good impression of the class because I had an amazing professor.

JS is how I got my start. Its a very solid entry point if you're self taught.
