Why do you have to learn JS? If you just want to make a web app and add some interactive 3D models on it, there're some Python libraries can help with that, like: https://github.com/streamlit/streamlit https://github.com/wang0618/PyWebIO https://github.com/plotly/dash

Why learn JS? I guess it’s because I think it’ll be a useful skill that will allow me to do more in the future, not just find a better way to embed 3D models in a notebook.

It might be useful to build tools for research projects, interactive elements for assessment etc.

The bulk of my coding is work Matlab and an increasing amount of Python. JS would allow me to to more web based stuff.
