Python is fairly stable, node is prone to fast change. That is, if python isn't using external dependencies. If you are writing an app for decades long usage, node is probably a bad choice. Perl, python, will be around... well, I dunno, decades more at least. But perl? As someone else said, the code you write now, will work 30 years from now. That's its thing, its happy smile. Imagine, just imagine writing code that doesn't vanish 2 months after you leave a place. Imagine code your great grandkids might tough.
