I want to learn how to create interactive Web pages, but I don't really want to learn JavaScript. Is it possible to implement interactivity in, say, Python or some other language?
Thanks in advance!

No, Python and Ruby will run on the back end. Interactivity is JS. Well, or a flush, but I didn’t tell you about it.

learn javascript - there are no adequate replacements for it yet.

Yes, there is a Ruby to JavaScript compiler . Compilers of this kind provide a quick start by using a language you already know, but everything has its price - you will get inconvenience with the development process: debugging using a source map, an additional compilation step during the project build, a not very large community for such kinds of compilers, bugs in the process of translating to JS, etc. This is a compromise between not wanting to learn JS and being willing to endure such inconvenience.

There is such a thing as brython . It slows down in some places, but maybe it will suit your task.

If you are a masochist, then at least c++ emscripten and go. If a little bit then Dart, GWT.
If not, just learn JS (coffee, ts, fb:flow);
