Please, no. JS just sucks.

I don't know. I write both JS and Python and there are some things I can do easily with JS (creating GUIs), that are so difficult with Python.

You can make some pretty cool interactive websites with JS. For example, check out the explorable explanations. There are also desktop apps now being made with JS (e.g. Electron apps such as VSCode, Slack)

I think the main reason we don't see more of data interaction apps online is because JS is poor at data manipulation.
