Stuck between Python and JavaScript for my first language - what did you pick?

I spent two weeks going back and forth between these two before I picked one. Python seemed easier to start with, but JavaScript actually lets you build stuff you can see in a browser right away. I went with Python and now 3 months in I'm wondering if I made the wrong call since I still can't make anything visual yet. Anyone else had to make this choice and regret it or feel good about it?

Honestly I think you made the right call with Python. It's way less frustrating to learn the basics without having to deal with browser nonsense and async stuff. JavaScript can wait until you actually understand loops and functions. By the time you need to make something visual, Python will feel easy and switching won't be such a headache. Ngl the first few months of any language feel slow but that's just how it goes.

Totally agree. Starting with the visual stuff too early just messes up learning the basics.
