Which is easier to learn first between python and JS?

As a beginner I need a good introduction into programming. So I'd appreciate some insight.

Well, vuyo phakathi , it is often said that python is easier to learn due to its simple and clean syntax. JS can be a little challenging for beginners.

Python syntax is horrendous. Probably best to start with JS between the two. At least JS has proper structure. But tbf both languages have terrible sides to them. At the end of the day it depends on what u want to use the language for.

I recommend starting with JavaScript. It has a clear syntax. You can experiment with JS by creating dynamic websites. You don't need additional packages, graphics libraries, complex IDEs, or high-memory computers to work with JS. You can simply write your code in any text editor of your choice and run it in a regular browser. Python, on the other hand, is very difficult to understand, especially due to the spaces in its syntax and the need for additional packages. I started with JS myself, and I'm still learning it because it has endless possibilities. You can use JS and Electron to create small desktop programs.
