Python is considered to be one of the easiest programming languages to learn.

It's almost like reading English.

Python is very versatile. You're not limited only to creating webpages.

You can use it for building web applications, machine learning, data analysis, web scraping...

It's object-oriented. Unlike plain JavaScript that can become a hot mess very fast.
With Python, you can learn how to keep your code clean and organized very fast.

You can learn the basics of CSS very quickly, but then it gets complicated and frustrating.
If you want to have the feeling of achieving something, you need to know what looks good. If you don't, you can learn a lot of CSS and still have a feeling you achieved nothing.

Jump from plain JS to ES6 framework is HUGE.

The newest frameworks mostly fixed what was wrong with plain JS. But until ES6 gets easily used in browsers, you first learn plain JS (that doesn't help you a lot) and then you basically need to learn a new language.

You can create your first program in Python in an hour (and get a great sense of accomplishment). It will be days before you'll see anything else than red <h1>Hello world</h1> on the blue background when learning HTML/CSS.

To this day, Python has the best course for beginners I ever saw.
