Except that Pythonistas often delegate such computations to libraries like numpy that achieve C-level speed. Python is supposed to be a glue language, JS is supposed to be a language that can run on browsers, so of course the two have different goals and performances.
- brrrrrm 4y agoI don't think there's much holding JS back from also being a glue language. JavaScript has certainly evolved from being only a browser language these days. The only request I'd have is more granular garbage collection (marking FFI memory as refcounted for more immediate destruction).
