Python vs. JavaScript: Is It a Fair Comparison?

• NumPy

  272 26,290 10.0 Python

  The fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.

  

There are ways to optimize Python’s performance by taking advantage of the fact that it uses the C programming language under the hood. For example, NumPy comes with optimized C code that makes Python code faster. Cython is a compiler, and a superset of the Python language that enables developers to build fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python code.

• jamstack.org

  146 2,749 7.0 Nunjucks

  The official Jamstack site

  

Another area where JavaScript wins is frontend development. It has the best frameworks for building modern interfaces (React, Angular, Vue). With Node.js, developers can use JavaScript to also build the server side of their applications. Thanks to JAMstack (JavaScript + APIs + markup), developers can build super-fast, beautiful web apps within very short deadlines.
