to echo others here, python ecosystem is worse imo. And compared to cross compiling C++ and C for ARM, js ecosystem seems like easy mode. You can always just write a little script to attach your module to the window, if you feel averse to webpack
I've been programming professionally a long time and had toyed with python before for small scripts, but have only recently had to write larger amounts of production code, and I was not prepared for how bad the python import system is.
