bot scripting: just vs python

[Ryujin2003]

I've already started scripting my Discord bot in JS. A friend is starting his on Python. Is therefore really a difference between either for scripting and why you'd want to pick one over the other?

 

I don't have much python experience, but I've been lead to believe that it's much more prominent in the software industry.

There is no big difference in functionality - what you can do in js can also be done in python and vice versa for the most part (JS can run on a browser whereas python needs a local interpreter but for your purposes that makes no difference). What a lot of people like about python is its readability and the power of its syntax and abstractions, as well as the thousands of modules that let you do almost anything extremely easily.

I think Python would be the easier to learn and code. I haven't learned much Python, but I know some basics. Watch tutorials and you will get the hang of it.
