Picked Python over JavaScript for my first project, kind of wish I went the other way

I had to choose between Python and JavaScript for a simple weather app I wanted to build for a school project last month. Python was easier to start with but I ran into trouble making it look decent on the screen since it doesn't handle web stuff natively. Anyone else pick a language based on hype and later wonder if the other option would have been smoother?

Built a weather app in Python. Took longer to make it look right than to actually write the code.

Picked Python over JavaScript" oof I felt that. I did the same thing for a project and ended up having to learn Flask just to get a basic UI going.

My buddy Tom picked Python for his first app and spent two weeks just trying to add a button.
