I've found the dev experience with nut.js to be worlds ahead of AutoHotKey as well. You get to use a real programming language with proper modules, data structures, first-class functions, asynchrony, and have access to a vast ecosystem of third party libraries and tooling.
Some Windows specific APIs are easier to work with on AHK due to the collection of built-in functions specifically tailored for automation, but everything AHK is still possible with nut.js since you're just writing a node.js script and have access to libraries like https://github.com/node-ffi-napi/node-ffi-napi https://github.com/node-ffi-napi/node-ffi-napi that can call native system libraries, with a bit more work involved.
