Greetings!

It's not really clear what you mean by "speed". If you mean is anything fast 
enough to generate an interactive website by running a utility on-demand to 
generate some kind of asset (static image, json), then probably not. If you 
want interactivity in the visualization, you're going to have to turn to 
javascript. If you're just talking about having a site that operates 
performantly with static images and some javascript to make menus/buttons, then 
anything (including Python) should be fast enough--unless you would need to 
generate tens of thousands of images.

I'd say there's hope because here's a demo that's loading a netCDF file of wind 
data into leaflet.js, using the ipyleaflet package to display all of that 
within a Jupyter notebook:

  https://ipyleaflet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_reference/velocity.html

That seems to imply it'd be possible in either javascript or python worlds to 
do this with plenty of speed for interactive use.

Good luck!

Ryan
