I love JS for front end, but Python is MUCH better suited to back end work, where a synchronous programming style fits perfectly.

What kind of backend work? Scripts? Sure. CRUD app APIs (likely the majority of mainstream app dev out there)? JS is just as well-suited, and has the advantage of tech stack uniformity with the front end.
