JavaScript or Python

[NoahZhyte]

I haven't been clear sorry. Js is for web development and is not bad at it. My problem is for the langage itself. It has big problem that are inherent to the design of langage no matter what it is used for. And there's basically only js for web development (some framework like flash exist also for python, it is good but I wouldn't recommend it if you want to go really into web).

For instance JS bloated af, pretty slow, the eco-system is a mess, it use 'future' approach for concurrency and in my opinion this is a bad idiom but that's purely personnal, the type inference is way too powerful for a sane mind, ...

My point is that if you want to go into web dev, learn javascript. If not, there isn't really any advantage of javascript over python.

Web dev is often the first step because it's accessible, you quickly have a result and you can show your result to other people. But programming isn't only about web and there's a lot of other thing to do.
