JavaScript vs Python: which is better?

JavaScript vs Python: Which Is Better?

As developers, we often face the classic debate: JavaScript or Python? Both are powerful, widely used, and beginner-friendly โ€” but they shine in different areas.

๐Ÿ”น JavaScript

The king of the web โ€” runs natively in all browsers.

Perfect for frontend (React, Vue, Angular) and backend (Node.js).

Asynchronous and event-driven, great for real-time apps.

๐Ÿ”น Python

Known for readability and simplicity.

Popular in data science, AI/ML, automation, and backend (Django, Flask).

Huge library support for scientific and business applications.

So which is โ€œbetterโ€?
๐Ÿ‘‰ If you want to build interactive web apps, JavaScript is hard to beat.
๐Ÿ‘‰ If youโ€™re into AI, data, or automation, Python is the go-to.

In the end, the choice depends on your career goals and project needs.

๐Ÿ’ก Question for you:
If you had to start a new project today, would you choose JavaScript or Python, and why?
