> Is it just me or are Ruby and Python cousins. Not at all, they used to be competitors in the web space but Python won the academia space. Python is taught at university in Europe, Ruby far less. Node.js is a mess, not because of javascript but all these layers of complexity imposed by professional front-end development, and on the server because Node.js standard library is pretty poor. I shouldn't have to use a third party library just to parse a multipart http request or work with cookies... Go in that domain is just examplary. The std lib even comes with a Go parser, which is just invaluable for implementing code analysis tools, and it's very easy to do so.
