Nicely said! It seems you've had your hands filled with other javaScript frameworks. I started with Vue.js but because of the way React was overrated and I also want to learn mobile development I couldn't help but fall in love with it haha I remember how much I hated javascript and will "always" prefer python to it but as of today, javascript is my best pal haha

If Python didn't use white space as a part of structure and logic I'd probably like it more (also add some strict typing as a feature).
JavaScript...well...is a turd, but no choice if you are targeting the web. There are languages that transpile to JS that add a level of sanity to an insane language. I typically use TypeScript but have used Dart and Kotlin as well to transpile to JS. TypeScript is well supported and is usually easier to debug when things go south than other transpiled languages.
