I would expect numba to win, but I also do not think it is a fair comparison.

To be fair, python itself isn't jitting anything, while node is.

Numba doesn't really qualify as JIT if what it's really doing is compiling it and caching the results to disk then reading from them in the future for faster execution... that's just a compiler.
