Yes python is more preferred when choosing a scripting language and javascript is more executed in browsers. And the two do not contradict.

  I think you're both correct. For sysadmin definition of scripting, python would be most popular. For the 'fast to write' definition of scripting then sure, JavaScript.

    I don't think I've ever heard that as a definition of "scripting".

      Which one? For the second, the definition of 'scripting language' used to be 'doesn't use a compiler' but JS and everything else has a JIT now, so 'make something quick' is a modern equivalent.
