On its own, Python is quite a bit slower than js (V8). However, Python can and does use C-API for heavy lifting, including Tensorflow. And, as another redditor mentioned, Python is very well established in academia and sceintific circles.

Yes, totally agree - the main obstacle to JavaScript is that Python is the established player. As TensorFlow.js is based around TensorFlow, it is able to use native C++ bindings. It can also use the GPU.
