I think the thing with python is that it's always been "fast enough" and if not you can always reach out to natively implemented modules. On the flipside javascript was the main language embedded in web browsers. There has been a lot of competition to make browsers fast.
Nowadays there are 3 main JS engines, V8 backed by google, JavaScriptCore backed by apple, and spidermonkey backed by mozilla. If python had been the language embedded into web browsers, then maybe we would see 3 competing python engines with crazy performance. The alternative interpreters for python have always been a bit more niche than Cpython, but now that Guido works at microsoft there has been a bit more of a push to make it faster |
