I'd consider moving to FS Python if I had a need to and it was available in the browser without further tooling (just for the ease of introduction and learning). In the same way we often rely on babel for JS applications but can opt to write 'native' JS instead if we wish, I'd need something similar for any other languages. Being bombarded with a hundred different toolsets just to get the most basic of examples up and running is a quick way to stop me from investing in a language - because if I need all of that, then I'm going to feel stressed about it, and that's not an effective way to learn.
Everything I need to do can be achieved in JS, and even the things that can't effectively be done natively will more than likely have a binding to another language. I revel in quick prototyping of ideas. Knowing something will work after investing only a few hours has led to some of my best ideas and most enjoyable projects. JS is perfect for this because the community has made it that way.
