While I agree with this post, I just want to highlight that javascript is a "curly brace" language where white space has little meaning. On the other hand python is a language where white space is significant. Switching between the two might be confusing/frustrating at first.
Depends on if you're primarily interested in getting utility as soon as possible, in which case use whatever solves the problem you'd most like to solve. If that is making some web app, that'd be Javascript.
