How do I use company-mode in some buffers and auto-complete-mode in others?

Question

My init.el loads company with (global-company-mode). I want to make an exception for Javascript buffers, and instead use auto-complete-mode for that mode.

Q: I am struggling to find a way to unhook company mode for only a particular mode. How can I do this?

Why do you want to, though? Both `tern` and `ac-js2` have company-mode backends. — Dmitry, Dec 01 '14 at 19:41
Ignorance, mostly. I don't have a good understanding of what a good emacs JS environment looks like. — Chris, Dec 01 '14 at 20:36
this was quite helpful for setting up EIN since it does not offer a company backend — aiguofer, Oct 06 '15 at 17:49

Try this:

(add-hook 'js-mode-hook 'my-javascript-hook)

(defun my-javascript-hook ()
  (company-mode -1)
  (auto-complete-mode 1))
