Depends on what you are working with. Javascript is nice for working with HTML's document object model, but isn't as strong in other domains. Python is better for data science / processing / modeling. C / C++ / Rust is better for embedded systems and blockchain core code. Other languages have niches in other domains. All comes down to what each offers and how the developer enjoys the syntax.

I prefer Rust / C's strong type enforcement / compilation as opposed to Python / Javascript's weak typing / interpretation just because even though it takes longer to write, it helps to write cleaner, more robust, better performing code.
