Ask HN: Python vs. JavaScript
What are your thoughts about both the languages and which would you prefer to work in. Please refer to only the language and not the frameworks that make it viable option.
- okibeogezi 12y agoAlways PYTHON!
- ilovefood 12y agoFTW!
- fauria 12y agoAlways JAVASCRIPT!
- Pr0ducer 12y agoPython on the back, JavaScript on the front.
- tuxlinuxien 12y agoJS is also for back-end. Maybe you have never heard about Nodejs or io.js
- yuashizuki 12y agoBut if u could program the front and the back in a single language which would u prefer
- tuxlinuxien 12y agoPython is not supported for front-end (yet??). So the choice is quite easy. If you want to stick a single language for both front and backend, using JS is the best solution.
- yuashizuki 12y agoI am just asking a hypothetical question, what if you could do everything in python and every thing in js. Would you still use js cause you like the language or use python.
- tuxlinuxien 12y agoIt depends on what you want to do. I work with Nodejs everyday, JavaScript is a very cool language but I still prefer Python which is easier to read from my point of view.
