Why is python used for cryptography much more then javascript/node.js/other javascript frameworks. Is it because the actual python language is superior for crypto or is it because python has had a crypto community for longer so more people continue to choose python.

Why is python used for cryptography much more then javascript/node.js/other javascript frameworks. Is it because the actual python language is superior for crypto or is it because python has had a crypto community for longer so more people continue to choose python. Would be nice to know the reason for differing levels of use between the languages. Also now when javascript branches out into so many different things and is constantly making new frameworks do you think a new crypto framework is just around the corner?
