Python is cool IMO, got loads of libraries and gets your little app up in notime.

Not for larger projects though.

JavaScript is like the unsafest language I have touched in the last 20 years, yikes!

Still would use it as a web front end instead of python ofc.

What languages did you use 2 decades before?

Well, it's not like you have any option. Browsers only run Javascript, right?

Well you can do it the 'old' way serving front (pages) from the back like PHP did it.

Ah ok, server side rendering with no JS. I mean, server-side rendering is good. But a front with no JS? Idk, the page would feel pretty outdated. I wonder if there modern front-ends with zero js.
