Well, both are quite slow for what it’s worth, compared to most other programming languages.

Which is still plenty fast for CRUD web applications even at large scales, don’t get me wrong, I’m just pointing out that JS for example often has a 10x multiplier between it and Ruby/Python.

It hasnt' stopped Python, by some metrics, from competing in popularity with JS. Some even put Python ahead.

As I wrote, performance is not the end-all goal.

Python is the de facto glue language.
