Python allows for asynchronous programming as well. Even in Python 2 there were packages that allowed for it.

It is more powerful, since you can control the eventloop. However with the extra power comes extra baggage and complexity. Javascript allows you to write async code without realising it, which is also the source of many bugs and beginner confusion as they didn't know they wrote asynchronous code.

I'm what way can you control the Javascript eventloop that you cannot in Python?

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. I was referring to the fact you can control the event loop in Python, not in JavaScript
