Python, it has everything from scratchattach to circuits to websites to pen to file management to uhh you get the pointJS has similar tools to Scratchattach. JS is designed for websites, JS can connect to canvas through HTML (I presume by ‘pen’ you mean turtle?), and most JS runtimes have file management.
Also could you specify what ‘circuits’ are?

Python has documentation, while I'm pretty sure JavaScript doesn't (so basically you have to look up everything to know what to do at all)

(#605)Do you mean documentation comments? JavaScript does have those, but they're not integrated into the language. Most IDEs will show them, though.

(#610)There's the official JS spec, but also https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ which is more than enough for most people

I wonder if Python would be better if it was compiled, rather than interpreted (because simple syntax+speed seems like a good combo)
Of course, JS has relatively simple syntax, and most browsers run it quite quickly, and then there's AssemblyScript just in case you wanted to run it faster and don't mind it being typed.

I wonder if Python would be better if it was compiled, rather than interpreted (because simple syntax+speed seems like a good combo)Aside from braces, indentation, and brackets, syntax is nearly the same. I prefer the way JS handles scoping and statements, but they're as simple as one another past that.

I think JS being untyped is a disadvantage (I don't like the way TS handles it, although that's personal preference.)

I've used it on a project once that's very calculation heavy, and the speed of that is comparable to the Rust implementation I made from trying to gain performance.
The only thing you might encounter from using PyPy is some libraries that can't be imported.
