Forgive me for a blunt reply to your snarky comment, but this is ignorant hyperbole, and I'm surprised you got away with it on HN. I've never written 'WordPress plugins and themes'. I've worked in C, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby. Yet I gravitate to Node for backends because it makes sense for many reasons over alternative platforms that are still playing catch-up in terms of practical solutions. One example: Node had solid websockets solutions from close to day one. Several years later, Django just added 'channels' to its org. Rails just added 'action cable'. Both feel very immature. Also Python and Ruby are slow as hell compared to Node.
