If you're already using JavaScript for the web, I think there's three main options for that domain:

* stick with JS,

* learn a language that's a superset of JS (like TypeScript), or

* learn another language which compiles to JS.

If you're looking for a language that can also replace Python for you, then maybe the 3rd option above is a good bet. Something which has its own VM (or other native target), but which also can be compiled to JS. For example, Haxe, Kotlin, Nim, Go, or Dart.
