Node JS vs Python : Best Programming Language to Choose in 2022

Big names like Netflix, LinkedIn and PayPal use node JS. Google uses Python.

Are you confused between node JS and Python? Let's compare. We will be looking at aspects such as performance in speed, scalability, universality, architecture, extensibility, libraries, error handling, community support, use cases, and big names.

1. Performance and speed:  node JS is a fast processing language. Python is comparatively slow in processing requests.

2. Scalability:  node JS has multithreading facilities for easy scaling. Python Global Interpreter does not allow for multithreading.

3. Universality: node JS has inherent cross-platform functionality. It requires an interpreter.

4. Architecture: node's event-driven architecture offers high performance. Python supports synchronous architecture that requires a module to be event-driven.

5. Extensibility: node JS pops up with new frameworks like bubble, Jasmine, Lago, etc. Python has excellent extensibility with multiple frameworks like Flask, Django, etc.

6. Libraries: node JS supports MPM package manager, Python supports API package manager.

7. Error handling:  node JS has high performance with multithreading. Python also has strong troubleshooting and easy debugging options.

8. Community support. node JS is open source with moderate community support. Python is older and has a wider adoption with a larger community.

9. Use cases: node JS is used in e-Commerce, gaming, graphics, CMS and chatbot. Python is used for Bigdata, DevOps, testing automation and engineering.

10. Big names like Netflix, LinkedIn and PayPal use node JS. Google uses Python.
