Nodejs Vs Python :

When you think about backend development, Python and Node.js are the first things that come to your mind. While Python is a programming language, Node.js is an environment allowing JavaScript code to run on the server side and not in a browser.

It is based on Chrome’s V8 Engine, which runs on Google Chrome. Node was a sort of a quantum leap, as it is the first environment allowing to use JavaScript both on the client side and on the server side. Without Node.js, frontend and backend used different languages, which could cause certain compatibility issues. So, Node.js vs Python comparison actually boils down to comparing Python and JavaScript on the backend.

This is going to be a clash of titans, as both have been around for quite some time, both have earned solid reputations in the developers’ community, both have thousands of devoted supporters. We can even speak of a Python or JavaScript culture and folklore – there is even the Zen of Python and the JavaScript Garden. Python philosophy is that “There should be one – and preferably only one – obvious way to do it”, while JavaScript proudly boasts that “Any application that can be written in JavaScript will eventually be written in JavaScript” (the so-called Atwood’s Law).
