JS is currently generally much faster than both Python and Lua because it has a lot more investment into its JIT from companies like Google whose financial empire is largely built off the web. JavaScript often performs like a really slow statically-typed language rather than a scripting language due to the amount of optimization put into it. Python has made a lot of performance enhancements in 3.x though but it's still much slower. Mojo might cause it to take the crown some day.

They dropped Lua for 7, and use JS (at least I think it's JavaScript, I extrapolated that through the js file extension)

JS does stand for Javascript, yes.

I thought JS was only used on webpage apps. I see with its speed you can use it for other things with node as stand alone programs then.

Funny that it's meant tob e faster while you can clearly see the game delays actually initializing/running the scripting language.
