The following responses are terse because I'm posting from my phone. Apologies in advance!

JS is not parallelized, so whether or not it's thread safe is a moot point.

Python is also compiled to a bytecode before interpretation; were still don't call it a compiled language.

In a JIT language, macros aren't significantly faster than runtime abstractions. In the latter case, you can always precompile your abstraction on program load at the expense of slower start times (think regex engines or precompile linq queries). The cost is negligible.

I can't seem to find anything on type documentation for Cursive. How can I ask it what type a function returns or what types it's arguments should take?

Sorry, I should have said "JS doesn't support shared memory parallelism for all intents and purposes, so memory sharing concerns are a moot point".

This supports my point; not sure why you're posting this...

This is also congruent with my points; if this is meant to be contradiction, you'll have to clarify.

I'm not spending any more of my time skimming these mysterious links; this is a very straightforward question and you've evaded it several times and then referred me to an 8 kiloword document. What gives?
