Being able to do front-end and back-end in js is really nice, especially passing data back and forth in js-object like format.

If you have not tried it, do so, I feel it does streamline things nicely.

Node.js is a little lighter than most things and if you use it correctly I think it has advantages.

I wouldn't build a bank on it however :)

You can pass JSON using Python, or pretty much any server side language.

Of course you can. But in some languages it's a pain.

And you can't do python on both ends.

Using JS on both sides is nice if the architecture is suited for it.
