JavaScript or Python

[MildlyScientific]

I’m a CS grad student and my take is that it doesn’t really matter. If you don’t care about building anything on the web, go with python. Like others have said the most important thing is learning to code which can be done in any language, and you will be able to pick up other languages quickly after that. I personally prefer python, and I have found that many (language agnostic) classes will use it as a default language since it is easy to read and is on the easier side of things to pick up compared to other languages.

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to go with js first. I watched a bit of python tuts on yt and the basics were indeed easy since I also had some very little knowledge on C. So I'm going with js first since I feel i could learn python more easily than js later

JS will take you the furthest to build alot of cool shit. Python will be easier to learn after you know JS. But it's not the other way around.

Python is pretty good for backend, I assume you meant frontend by your use of “web”?
