You're right, but I guess you're being downvoted because nobody wants to hear it. JavaScript will never get anything like numpy, because it doesn't have integers. Doing mathematics without integers is like driving a car without wheels.

That is a pretty bold statement.

Combine typed arrays with BLAS and you have yourself a numpy (well, kind of). In Node you can move performance-critical code to C++, which does have integers. Browser support of typed arrays is a bit disappointing, but it's getting better.
