Switching from Python to JavaScript

Question

I've been programming in python for a long time, but now it is getting very boring for me. Although there is no match for Python when it comes to ML Engineering, it takes years to learn it + 3 or 5 years to master it. And I've heard that Companies don't accept Freshers. Btw, Why would I go through developing the entire ML model when I can just simply use pre-built models in my applications using APIs. Moreover, Python is not good for Android apps, Web apps ( large scale ), 3d graphics and speed. If any of you guys has switched from python to JavaScript, I want to know about JS's advantages you got.

Answer 1

Different languages fit different platforms. That's why I've learned the basics of all the major languages. Python is not useful for Android app development. However, Python might be perfect to develop the back-end for those applications.

As for using libraries, I love that idea. But there is one caveat. Those libraries might change or become discontinued at some point. While that's not a show-stopper, programmers who use a lot of packages can run into issues when something doesn't get updated for whatever reason. Some companies prefer to use a few libraries but prefer a few in-house libraries just to avoid issues with package updates, or lack of updates.

JavaScript is a fantastic option and you won't regret learning that. I love Python's utility nature, but I tend to work more with JavaScript or C#, depending on my platform requirements.

The lesson here is that no language is the one-trick-pony for development. Being versatile is a strength. It's all about the right tool for the job. Nobody can solve every problem using a single tool.
