IMO the specific language doesn't matter here. Python has JiT compilers, AoT compilers, (proper) coroutine tools, front-end dev tools, everything you could need for dev work, that's why it's so popular, even if none of this is in the standard library.
On the other hand, if you want to learn JS or Go you could use them as well. Last time I checked Go doesn't really have any front end tools/frameworks though.
Of the two I think Go is easier to pick up. Also, if Python is your only exposure to programming, you might be surprised to learn that syntactically, Python is the weird one, not the other way around.
