What are your thoughts about both the languages and which would you prefer to work in. Please refer to only the language and not the frameworks that make it viable option.

Python on the back, JavaScript on the front.

JS is also for back-end. Maybe you have never heard about Nodejs or io.js

But if u could program the front and the back in a single language which would u prefer

Python is not supported for front-end (yet??). So the choice is quite easy. If you want to stick a single language for both front and backend, using JS is the best solution.

It depends on what you want to do.

I work with Nodejs everyday, JavaScript is a very cool language but I still prefer Python which is easier to read from my point of view.
