Where do the tools that makers use come from?
Why can't you decide which way is the "winner" and find the "one way to rule them all" for what you have in mind?
Does something need to be mainstream for it to be useful?
Is it possible to both find a technology that is main stream but still at the forefront of development?
Why are you interested in JS/Node if Ruby and Python are "great" already and do what you want?
Just some questions that come to mind while reading your comment.
