Python vs. Javascript

Question

I feel like python amd javascript are quite comparable. Javascript can be used in web development, as well as a stand alone language. Why do people still learn python?

What are the adavntages of python over js? Can you list a few pros and cons of both languages with respect to each other. And what is python best at? Machine learning? Networking?

Answer 1

Python is used for many disciplines other than web development for example:

1. Data Science
2. Pandas foundations
3. Cleaning data
4. Scipy operations
5. Manipulating data
6. Competitive programming
7. Statistics / Analysts
8. Machine learning
9. NPL Natural process language
10. Data Analysis

To name a few.

Answer 2

Python: back-end for web dev, you can do AI with it, it is really easy

Javascript: front-end for web dev, you can do some 2D games with it, it is easy too
