Um… JS’s performance is pretty good, almost comparable with static languages 
like Java and C.
I remember a better benchmark, but I couldn’t find that, but look at this: 
https://attractivechaos.github.io/plb/ <https://attractivechaos.github.io/plb/>
Javascript V8 engine is almost always in about x2 ~ x3 of C.
Compare that to Elisp….uh…which is about comparable with python maybe?
