Functions are very expensive in python. The only truly performant python libraries are written in C.

Absolutely, but the subject was more about languages with support for the practice. JS and Python are truly multi paradigm, other aspects notwithstanding. I wouldn't use Python (performance issues mainly) , but doesn't change the point.
