Ah bummer, looks like my response was cut off :( If you can bundle all your dependencies into a static file you're right, C/C++ is actually better as you have no install requirements. However in terms of maintaining your dependencies, nodejs can be pretty great with package management coming with the npm tool. When you want to share your code with the world, and for someone else to actually use it, nodejs is easier. In C/C++ you can use CMake to have external dependencies on git projects which is the best I've seen that you can do. If you know of any other tools that help with these problems please tell!
