Python or JavaScript? Answer One Question First

Pick by what you want to point at when it works, not by job-market lists.

Stuck between Python and JavaScript for your first project? The job-market lists don’t help, and both will do most beginner tasks. This runs the same small task in both languages and hands you one question to decide by — what do you want to point at when it works, a web page or a file on your machine — so you stop choosing and start building.
