I’m not sure what you mean by this but Python can be very performant when you want it to be. That is to say, when you build computation heavy parts in C (or Zig), and remember to avoid the various performance pitfalls like not using generators when you didn’t want to load all those millions of elements into your memory.
What sets professional Python aside from most other programming languages is that everyone who uses it knows that it’s terrible and how to deal with that. Which will sometimes be replacing parts (or all) or it.
To say that it’s inherently less performant than JS is frankly silly though.
