Good choice, when I started out teaching myself I started with python, but things didn't start to click until I jumped into JavaScript and was able to see the changes I made immediately appear in the browser.  Super helpful getting quick feedback loops with js. It also gives you the ability to write backend code as well. Good choice, and good luck on your learning journey, very difficult but extremely rewarding. 

 Thank you! I’m looking forward to it. I’ll give you some progress once I’m past JavaScript and into React and from time to time ask you about python too.
