I finally picked a first language to learn and it wasn't Python

For weeks I was stuck deciding between starting with JavaScript or Python. Everyone online kept saying Python was easier, but I wanted to build a simple website for my friend's bakery. So I went with JavaScript. I spent about 3 hours a day for two weeks following a free course on Codecademy. It was tough at first, especially getting my head around functions, but I got a basic page with a clickable button to work. Honestly, I'm glad I picked based on what I wanted to make, not just what people said was easiest. Has anyone else started with JavaScript and felt like it clicked after a specific project?
