I'd personally say I found learning to be productive in Javascript to be easier than in Java, and substantially easier than, e.g., C or C++. However, I feel like there is a much wider range of applications that you would use JS for, so I think a lot of that came down to learning how to organize code for different project scales.

I would say that JS has a lot of strange mechanics under the hood, and it definitely took me a long time to start getting really comfortable with them. Expect it to be an ongoing journey (though a fun one!)

Good luck, and enjoy the ride!
