- Ruby: 20 years old

- Python: 24 years old

- Node: 6 years old

Maybe your comparison is somewhat unfair...

In that case "Node" is 20 years old, and "Ruby" (for web development) is 11 years old.

It's fair to say Ruby didn't take off until 1.8 which came out in 2003, but how in any way is Node 20 years old?
