And that's saying something give that neither Node nor TypeScript have ever had productivity as a main selling point!

Imagine evaluating the time to market for an experimental back-end written in Rails, Laravel, Phoenix, etc vs Go! The difference is staggering.

Comparing frameworks and a language, really?

Absolutely! There are obvious productivity differences between the languages themselves and frameworks can make it even more apparent.

Different languages make writing the DSLs used in Rails-like frameworks easy, difficult or impossible. Much of my professional career was spent working on Node back-ends with a variety of frameworks and none of them were even close in terms of succinctness or productivity.

Agree with that. However none of the frameworks comes closer to visual programming environments (nowadays called low code).
