    Does that not put JS (node) back on the table?

    I’d say it’s the low level language doing the heavy lifting, python or JS in this scenario are just front-ends.

    Hell, I think FORTH has C bindings, that’s not power, that’s mental illness

      Sure, but there are good and bad frontends. JavaScript has a tendency to silently fly off the handle in mysterious ways due to the crazy type system. Python will typically fail more predictably, and is famously easy to write. I know nothing about FORTH, honestly.
