Picked Python over JavaScript for my first language and it was a mistake

I spent 3 months learning Python loops and classes, then tried to make a simple website and hit a wall because I couldn't even handle a button click. Should I have started with JavaScript all along or is this just part of the learning curve anyone goes through?

Blame the language for hitting a wall after three months when the real issue is you skipped the part where you learn how to actually build something useful with it. JavaScript would have just thrown you into callback hell and DOM spaghetti while Python at least lets you understand data structures without fighting browser quirks. A button click isn't a language problem, it's a "I didn't look up event handlers" problem. Stick with Python but actually finish a project instead of hopping tools every time something feels unfamiliar.

Start building something real with Python and you'll finally see where the gaps in your learning actually are.
