A few words about Node.js development
Node.js is a JavaScript-based back-end environment that can be used, among many things, to develop web and mobile applications. Node.js code creates the foundation for browser-server communication, which is essential for every application.
Node.js is an Open-Source environment, and is faithfully maintained by a strong community of developers.
Is Node.js considered better than Python?
No. They are both great programming languages, and each one has different advantages. With Node.js, developers enjoy maximum flexibility that enables them to establish a super-scalable infrastructure. Python is less flexible, but more robust.
