You can't compare Rails to Express. It's a much, much more full-featured web framework. JS doesn't really have an equivalent to Rails (that I know of).

Django is comparable in scope but Rails is many times more popular and a lot more work has gone into it. IMO you would need a very good, specific reason to choose Django over the far more popular Rails.

Probably Meteor, though not as mature as Rails.

Not as mature as rails, obviously, but Adonisjs and sailsjs are options.
