My first project had me stuck picking Python or JavaScript

I wanted to build a simple website that could show the weather, but I didn't know which language to start with. My friend in Austin said to use JavaScript because it runs right in the browser, so I went with that. It was tough at first, but after a week of trying, I got a button to pull in fake data. Has anyone else felt lost choosing a first language for a web thing?

My buddy said the same thing about JavaScript for web stuff.

Honestly your friend in Austin gave bad advice. For a simple weather site, Python with Flask would have been way easier to get real data from an API. JavaScript just makes you fight the browser for no reason.
