I can answer that as we just strangler-pattern'd a legacy nodeJS app to Golang. Abstracting away from Node and JS paradigm is bit harder, but the blame totally lies on the callback ridden code we end up with Node. It also forced us to think about our DataStructures, abstractions and module structure. The efforts took comparatively the same time as it took the original team to write the Node app. Also I wouldn't put Golang and Python in the same league as Node.

Modern Java (and Kotlin) is surprisingly powerful and the days of AbstractFactoryBeanFacadeInterface are behind it.

I've got to say that I'm more tempted to start something with Java + Lombok than Kotlin. Somehow it feels like I'll have an easier time with the tooling, but I'm probably exaggerating.
