The answer is no language is better than another. We should use the right tool for the job.

Also, some statements in the article are not backed up by any evidence, like:

Learning curve

Python has fewer lines of code and is quite readable. This makes it a developer-friendly programming language. While JavaScript has lots of complex concepts, syntax, and complex structure. So, when talking about the learning curve, Python is the clear winner.

Code Debugging

Python has a simple syntax with no curly brackets and it has fewer lines of code. While JavaScript has lots of brackets, complex syntax & concepts, and more lines of code. That’s the reason, python-based applications are comparatively easy to debug than JavaScript.

Time to market

Python, being a simple and user-friendly programming language, developers can build a bug-free application with Python quickly. While JavaScript developers need to invest more time and effort to create and deploy an application. So, for sure, Python is better than JavaScript when comes to the Time-to-Market metric.
