These days for new projects you may just use flask/django depending on how complicated your application is. Python is top 3 language and its ecosystem is getting better daily, meanwhile it leaves many other scripting languages in the dust including ruby. Otherwise you can use a java framework or (maybe) node.js? Node.js no longer has a good framework anymore, express is "out of date", it still can't do async/await and Express 5.0 is not actively developed. The MEAN stack is pretty much gone. I wish there is something in the javascript/backend/nodejs field that shines like Django/Flask as a framework.
