Stuck between Python and JavaScript for my first real project and I'm losing my mind

I spent like 3 hours last night going back and forth on whether to build a simple to-do app in Python or JavaScript for my first portfolio piece. I ended up picking Python cause I'd already learned some of it but now I'm wondering if I made a mistake since literally every job posting seems to want JS. Has anyone else dealt with this paralysis over what language to start with?

Pick Python and stick with it. A todo app is just a todo app no matter what language you use. The point is learning how to structure code, handle user input, and make something work end to end. JavaScript jobs will still be there in a month when you can actually build something more than a list that doesn't save.

Half the people arguing about languages are probably just avoiding actually writing the damn todo app. Pick one, build it, then move on to something harder.
