--explanation--

Let's break down how Tom compares JavaScript and Python:

I'm not a fan of Python's syntax—it feels a bit rigid. - Here, Tom expresses that he doesn't like Python's syntax because it feels too strict or inflexible. This shows his dissatisfaction with Python.

I find JavaScript more flexible. - Tom contrasts Python with JavaScript by describing JavaScript as more flexible, meaning it's easier to work with or adapt in different situations.

And it's the go-to language for front-end development. - Tom highlights JavaScript's primary use: it's the main language for creating front-end applications, showing his preference for it in this area.

When comparing the two, Tom finds JavaScript more versatile and better suited for front-end development, while he finds Python less flexible due to its rigid syntax.
