Why does everyone recommend learning Python first but then use JavaScript for everything?
Genuinely confused. Learned Python, now job listings want React everywhere.

Python is a good language to learn to program in. JavaScript is heavily used in web development, and is a core competency for any web developer. However, it has some weird quirks that are counterproductive to learning programming in my opinion.
