Serial communication is no issue. Just load the overlay to configure the pins. Then configure the port, open the port, and read or write data. The point is "controlling motor drivers". What kind of control do you need (just on/off, or complex power control, may be in closed loop control at high frequency with QEP sensor). For a closed loop controller I wouldn't use interpreter languages (Phyton, JS). The interpreter may do a garbage collection in that moment when you need low latency. Prefer compiler languages, and use the one you're most comfortable with.
