Same but with Python and NodeJS cause I'm doing less performance-critical stuff. Dealing with type safety and slow builds would cost way more than it's worth.

Python and NodeJS bring a whole lot of other problems. But yeah at a smaller scale these languages are faster to work with.

At the same time, I have worked at places where people had to rewrite major parts of their backend in other languages because Python/Node was no longer sufficient.

  • I'd have to see it, cause rewrites happen all the time. We had a system written in C++, then rewritten in Golang because C++ was supposedly not good enough, then rewritten back into C++.
