It is time to power off my tiny RPi zero Xmas tree, sharing the moment with you guys
You can get much better performance by coding a library from scratch I suppose. I heard pigpio in NodeJS would allow that but I never tried myself.

I know programming coding is different to robotics coding but doesn’t JavaScript work for robotics as well?
After you learn python JavaScript should be easy to learn for you. I don't know much about robotics but there are some JS frameworks for IoT and robotics out there if you want to try, for example https://cylonjs.com/

I wanna Leaern JS but I kinda wanna talk to people who have done it before
As a general purpose language, it can be used for other things like desktop applications, robotics, and even an emulation of an operating system that runs in a web browser. However, these uses are much less common than its main usage, which is still for the "front-end" of a web page or web application.
