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.

Your instinct is right. That's where the money's moving, lemon io's 2026 report has React+Python full-stack as one of the better-paid combos, and AI/ML as the highest-paid mainstream stack overall. So pick Python if you'll commit to the AI part, otherwise Node's faster.
