Why did Python fail to evolve?

I was listening to an old podcast (because all the current ones are obsessed with the AI) and they compared Python to Javascript. At the time and even now that comparison made sense. They're both considered general purpose languages even though they originated as specialized languages, one for the browser and the other for the Unix shell. However Javascript has evolved much better than Python. It has a rigorous standard document in EC6+ which means you can have multiple compatible implementations. It has evolved functional programming features like arrow functions, map and reduce etc are actually ergonomic and idiomatic in modern JS but avoided in Python which clings to destructive loops and assignment. JS has embraced immutability as a core concept while Python has defied it even well into 2025 when languages like Java and Rust have made it an established, mainstream concept. Python has bolted on asyncio but it remains underappreciated and hard to use compared to Javascript and C#. Typescript has given static typing benefits to JS but Python still drags its feet with multiple incompatible typing efforts, none really taking off in a big way, due to Python itself not having much of an opinion on it.

If my assessment is unfair, i'd like to hear about it but from my perspective Python has failed to evolve and we can see that clearly in the path Javascript has taken in the same amount of time, it's evolved into a much better language.
