It seems to me that html css and JavaScript are better suited for the job than Python, if you want to do anything complex at all. But I’m probably wrong.
Speaking as a python developer who uses Javascript and CSS only when necessary, yes, you are correct. It's not the fact that it's JS/CSS that's annoying to me about such work, and nothing about it gets better if you use python instead.
Not that it's not interesting of them to make this, but really, I had little if any temptation to try it out.
Note that it doesn't necessarily mean I think JS/CSS is _better_ suited, but in any case not worse, and I think the leap from one problem domain to another is much more significant than the leap from one language to another.
It’s a bit like the 8 bit computer age: You can get by in a high level view, but the performance might not be enough or you’re missing out on some features where you need direct access.
Given the immense speed of today’s computers, brute force might be enough, though.
