I wish more effort was put into baseline performance for Python. Nobody sane tries to do math in JS. Backend JS is recommended for situations where processing is minimal and it is mostly lots of tiny IO requests that need to be shunted around. I'm a huge JS/Node proponent and if someone says they need to write a backend service that crunches a lot of numbers, I'll recommend choosing a different technology! For some reason Python peeps keep trying to do actual computations in Python...
