PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Python
Python is much less complicated than JavaScript and much easier to understand.

For example, in JavaScript, if you want to define a variable, you have to type:

Python's data types don't use the concept of 'mutability'. Some data types cannot be modified;

Any modification returns a new value, but does not modify the value in the original variable.

Other types, like lists, can be modified in place.
In general, it's not necessary to think about this distinction when writing Python code;

The various types behave as one would intuitively expect. JavaScript, on the other hand, has no concept of mutable vs. immutable.

JavaScript:
In JavaScript, you often have to use two parentheses () at the end of a line to make if work.
You also need a lot of brackets.

In Python, you don't use nearly as many.
In JavaScript, there are two ways to create a new identifier.

The keyword function foo(…) {} declares a new function, and the var keyword declared a new variable.

Variable declarations do not need initial values: var foo; means foo gets the initial value of undefined.

As you see, Python and JavaScript are two very different ways of coding.
They have many differences, but are pretty much used for a lot of the same things.
