In the case of Python (specifically CPython, I'm ignoring PyPy), there is no dynamically generated machine code - CPython interprets without JIT. That's fairly common across most older scripting languages (Perl, Tcl, etc.).

The more common instances of JITs are, like you said, Electron/Node.js programs, Java programs, and the odd Ruby program. Anecdotally, I think Rust and Go are very common languages for new CLI apps, and I definitely have significantly more Rust and Go CLI apps than Node.js ones installed at the moment.
