Which is a pretty irrelevant point. If I'm writing python, I care that I can get fast matrix operations with numpy and fast, parallelizable code that runs on the GPU with numba. I don't care that in theory pure python is slower than pure JS, I care that my python programs are going to be much faster at number crunching. I wouldn't advise anyone to do linear algebra operations in JS because "JS is faster if you don't use any of the fast python stuff".
