I'm currently starting one project on Node.js and just this morning I thought to myself. This is too hard. I might as well rewrite it in Python. The main issue for me is how Node.js is forcing you to have all I/O operations asynchronous. For what I'm doing, this is exactly what I don't need. It makes the code so much more complicated. It's callback into callback into callback and returning "promises" within "promises"... simple functions are turned into beasts. It works but it's obvious I'm not using the right tool for the job. Don't get me wrong. I'm actually glad I dived into Node.js and learned a lot of new things. It's just that Node.js is very specialized framework which is amazing for certain use-cases and totally inappropriate for others. On the other hand, Python is general-purpose. It's never the best tool for the job but it's almost always good enough. So once you know Python, you know you can use it in many diverse projects without giving up your sanity. Can't say the same about Node.js.
