Other dynamic languages

Many things have changed since Node.js was created. More than a decade has passed; JavaScript has evolved, as well as the software infrastructure community. Languages such as Rust and Golang were born and were very important developments in the software community. These languages made it much easier to produce native machine code while providing a strict and reliable environment for developers to work on.

However, this strictness comes at the cost of productivity. Not that developers don’t feel productive writing those languages, because they do, but we can easily argue that productivity is a subject where dynamic languages shine.

The ease and speed of developing dynamic languages make them a very strong contestant in scripting and prototyping. And when it comes to dynamic languages, JavaScript directly comes to mind.
