Debated between Python and JavaScript for my first real project, picked Python, and now I'm stuck at week 3
I was trying to build a simple tool to rename a bunch of music files in my collection, and I figured Python was the way to go because of all the tutorials. But man, getting the path names right in Windows has been a nightmare, I spent like 4 hours on Friday just debugging a single slash. Meanwhile my buddy started a JS project and already has something working on his browser. Has anyone else picked one language only to wonder if the other would've been smoother for a beginner project like this?

Oh man, the Windows slash thing is a rite of passage. Pretty sure every Python beginner has sacrificed at least one weekend to the backslash gods.

Good grief, did you really waste a whole weekend on that?
