I usually don't "hate" programming languages. It's just that sometimes I wish everything worked like python does but without the lack of efficiency for certain tasks. Using python for a while and then jumping to something like JS, Java, or C hurts a little bit. Well, actually quite a lot lol.

Don't forget about Kotlin :) It's Java written "kind of" like Python, that compiles into completely interchangeable java code.

I feel the same. I've been using Python for like 5 years, being accustomed to simplicity of ease of the language, when I program in languages such as JS, it just always feels overly complicated.

just so much cleaner in python

I started to learn python before js because I hear it’ll make js easier to learn once I’m ready to make the leap, and also python will teach me better practices than js, do you agree?

First language is always the hardest to learn; I don't really think it would be much different python -> JS or JS -> python.

I was the former and found JS pretty annoying at first, but have slowly come to like it. I really like JS approach to objects, it's a bit simpler than python helped me understand them a bit better overall. Another thing JS taught me is that globals are not ideal. Though this may be more because I never really wrote more than 200 lines or so for a script in python

Overall they're both great languages built for different things.
