I finally picked between Python and JavaScript for my first language
I spent 2 weeks going back and forth, but I went with Python because a friend said it's easier to read. 6 weeks in and I'm glad I did, though I'm wondering if I'll regret it when I want to build websites later.

Yeah but how much did you have to unlearn? Like the whole async thing with JavaScript. That part messed me up when I tried switching later.

mark_carr7, that's actually really helpful to hear. So when you made the switch, was it the logic from Python that translated over, or did you have to unlearn a lot of the way Python does things? Like looping in Python feels super straightforward, but I've heard JavaScript handles it totally differently with stuff like callbacks and promises. Did you find yourself getting confused by that at first, or was it pretty smooth?
