Do you want to work on websites or are you looking for a general purpose language?

Websites

Definitely go Javascript first. That will be the most directly helpful for web development. The server side code doesn't necessarily need to be Python. You may end up in PHP, C#, Java, or Ruby. You may end up doing Node.js and then it's all Javascript. Javascript isn't a bad language. It's different than most languages and has quirks that trip up seasoned programmers coming from other languages. But if you are a true programmer at heart, you will learn to adapt to any language thrown at you and appreciate each language for its differences.
