    JS isn't directly comparable due to the very delineated nature of ECMA -vs- DOM/NodeJS APIs - ECMA is pretty easy to internalise but you'd be hard pressed to get by without MDN DOM or NodeJS core API docs open (unless as you say you're abstracting them with community libs as you say). I've only used Go sparingly - I heavily relied on docs, but yeah it may have a shallow learning curve. It's certainly much saner than Python (which seems to be the other language used in my "space" for e.g. ad hoc ops tooling, etc.)
