GSheets lets you run python code? I thought they were all js-based
edit: I misread, you're saying LibreOffice has Python support, nvm
They ~~don't~~ let you write custom JS scripts, ~~at least not without hacks AFAIK~~. We are talking about scripting languages for macros like Office’s infamous VBA.
I think what they let you do is write mini add-ons using the API and support JS in an in-browser editor. Then you have to enable the add-ons. I guess equivalently you can do the same things with an IDE and any language, but it felt like they "officially" supported JS.
