Should I switch from JavaScript to Python for data science in 2024?
Yes, Python is the standard for data science, thanks to libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-learn.

JavaScript has some data science libraries like TensorFlow.js, but it’s nowhere near as robust as Python for data manipulation and machine learning.

If you’re already familiar with JavaScript, switching to Python might feel different at first, but Python’s readability and ease of use will make the transition smoother.

While you can do some basic data manipulation with JavaScript, Python’s ecosystem is far more advanced for AI/ML and analytics.

Unless you have a specific reason to use JavaScript for data science (e.g., deploying models in the browser), Python is the better choice.
