Python vs JavaScript

Question

 Should I learn Python or JavaScript, and why?

Answer 1

Python uses a more conservative programming paradigm, and although it looks like Javascript uses the same, it doesn't. It uses uncommon paradigms like prototypal OOP (exclusive), event-driven (used for programming GUI application).

If you are new to programming, learn OOP programming languages like Python/Java/C++. Try learning JavaScript later, as it may confuse you to the core.
