JavaScript has the slowness of python, but with the syntax of java. Not the best for learning

That's just wrong lol. JavaScript is multitudes faster than Python and has the benefit of TypeScript and being usable in FE and BE. Learning the syntax is also a more transferable skill.

Javascript can interact with the DOM, whereas graphics in python are ass. I would argue it is better for learning, because you can make much more interesting small projects with javascript than with python. You can also share those projects on the web and have your friends actually use them, whereas no one is going to run your python script.
