I write a lot of C and C++. Considered Java for a recent Web api backend project but went with node in the end due to the richness of available libraries, somewhat quicker development for simpler things, and lower cognitive load from same language on both sides. I still sort of prefer strongly typed languages though. I hate the idea of bugs at runtime that a compiler might have caught.
