Question React + Python

Hi everyone,

I am seeking guidance. I am a React Developer with 3 years of experience. Now, I want to become a full-stack developer. I have to choose between Node/Express and Python.

I know it will be very easy for me to land a job with Node/Express, but as you know, if we want to integrate AI with full power, Python stands out. Yes, JavaScript can do it, but I've found some things that JavaScript can't do.

Am I right to go with Python with React? I still have some confusion about my decision.

Every time I worked a full stack role in large teams the backend was python for some reason or another. If I work on a solo project or lead a project for a client I usually go the node route. The language matters only a bit for most apps, the most important thing is understanding how to build clean, scalable architecture.
