I think the JS ecosystem is so big I'd assume it would have a library for everything. Maybe it's not the ideal language for lots of things but these days it's the universal tool.

It's possible to find research that shows node.js being considerably faster than python which by pop culture is good with math.

This isn't really a fair comparison. Nodejs is a V8-based javascript runtime that does just-in-time compilation and python is just a language. There are Python runtimes that also do just-in-time compilation, so a fair comparison would involve comparable runtimes.
