iAmNaN67507yR would be best suited for data science. Python would be a better choice than Javascript. Javascript isn't really DS oriented. R and Python are the most popular for DS, and Scala is in there as well. Python is more generalized, so has a broader application than R. -
taigrr8617y@iAmNaN python is vastly overtaking R. R has some legacy packages that are still widely used but that's pretty much the only reason it's used. -
CptFox15787yWhy would you use JS for data science ? Go to python, "import data science" and you're done 😁
Seriously though, either go for Python (or similar), or use C++ if performance is an issue (but try to Python it first).
If you feel like a warrior, go and give the Rust community a new create for DS 😛 -
Python. Because of the ecosystem, there are tons of great libraries and tutorials. And really, performance isn't an issue, there are lots of wrappers over performant low-level libraries.

tmpnull4447yJavaScript best practice: just because you can it doesn't mean you should.
Use python -
