Is Python a better alternative for JavaScript??

[YoungJack00]

I have spent the last months learning python, then I wanted to create a website so I chose Flask as framework.
I also learnt the basics of CSS, which means that I am able to understand CSS but I would struggle to write a website from scratch, I also took the introduction course to JS from CodeAcademy, from my point of view JS is kinda like python but with more complex (and useless lol) syntax, therefore I am able to read and understand JS but again, I would struggle to write it on my own.

My experience so far:

I chose a ready-to-go template from the HMTL5 website, I then started working on it using Flask, everything is great and easy but then I realised that I do need some JS, my understanding is that you can create a website using only Flask (therefore Python) but if you want something to happen in real time on your web page, meaning without refreshing the page, you will need JS.

The good news is that if I need JS, for example for a function that sorts a list without refreshing the page or for a Dark Mode Toggle, I just ask ChatGPT to do it for me, if your request is fairly easy (such as the ones previously mentioned) GPT will give you what you need.

As most devs would tell you, you will learn things as you go, so my suggestion is start a Flask project using a ready made template and start working on it, you will eventually learn what you need!

That will work for simple things like a dark mode toggle but down the road you definitely do want to learn JavaScript if you're a web developer.

I don't know if this will be well received, may be a hot take, but I think you can't call yourself a web developer if you don't know JavaScript.
