You should absolutely read "JavaScript and the next decade of data programming" by Ben Schmidt [1] before outright saying that it wouldn't be a great idea.

JavaScript does have integers (e.g. `Uint8Array`) and it also has big numbers (e.g. `BigInt`). It's true that there's not yet an equivalent to Numpy/Pandas/Scikit yet, but POCs show that it will be possible to create such a thing and that we will be able to use the WebGPU API to access higher performance than is available using Python [2].

I'm not saying that it will definitely happen, but why not?
