Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
They say it's faster than Python which was surprising to me, although I think that's V8 vs. Python not sure about client side
Very nice breakdown and comparison!
Until browsers recompile JavaScript into highly optimized native cpu instructions on the fly, there's a good chance it'll continue to perform slower than languages with compilers that do. V8 goes a long way. WebAssembly afaik is even faster, but it isn't native to the client computer.
