    Fun with JS, PHP, PY, and Java

Lots of developers argue about which programming language should be used to do this and that, in reality, all their answers are hugely affected by self bias, most of the time, programmers would use something in favor of something else because of comfortability, they are simply more comfortable using whatever they chose.
All high-level programming languages are pretty much alike, they were built on top of the same concepts, there's MVC in PHP, Java, JavaScript, Python, .NET, etc., they may differ in syntax, but at their very core, they are alike. Much like humans, we differ in color, height, body size, etc., but at our very core, we're all alike, but they differ in terms of speed, like humans differ in intelligence.
So, I made a bubble sort implementation in Java, JavaScript, PHP, and Python. If you don't know the bubble sort algorithm yet and you want to know, then read the pseudocode that I wrote. You can also view the repository.

Results

The test data that I used is an array of length 10 to 100,000. It contains a random number from 1 - 1,000,000.
I used their longest time.
I used Acer Laptop Aspire E 14, 4GB DDR4 Memory, intel Core i3-6100U (2.3 GHz).
I wanted to do 10 to 1,000,000 data but 1,000,000 seems too much for them to handle that it really takes a lot of time which I don't have right now, so I will just do upto 100,000. I think running assertions against the sorted array makes each tests longer, so I added a feature to disable it when desired.
Also note that the tests are used only to see if the results were correct. It will fail if the array was not properly sorted, in which case there is a problem with the algorithm or with my implementation.
Summary

With 10,000 data

JavaScript: 0.204 seconds
PHP: 4 seconds
Java: 0 seconds
Python: 14 seconds


With 100,000 data

Note for Python: Every test takes about 19 minutes, so I decided to just use the first result, I don't have 2 hours to lend for it so... Yeah.
JavaScript: 25.966 seconds
PHP: 348 seconds
Java: 24 seconds
Python: 1177 seconds
