Question:

What is better between Python and Javascript?

Answer:

There are a few things that I would take into consideration.

Language features - does the language have support for what you need to do?
Community - how many people develop in it, who are they, do they work on stuff similar to yours?
Performance - will your application be more performant written in one than another?
Ease of use/complexity - can someone else pick up the project and run with it without having to learn an entirely new programming paradigm?

Both languages have their pros and cons, but if you’re looking at this from a comparison standpoint, you should probably figure out which features each provide better than the other.

It might help if you tell us why you want to choose either. What type of program are you developing?

Edit:

As pointed out by MattGibson in his comment, there may also be browser considerations. If you don’t care about that, then it comes down to language feature sets (as mentioned above)…
