> much better language

Maybe but who cares when your code does not execute instantly on Lambda and requires you to use GaalVM to convert bytecode to binary. Besides you have a lot of people who would say Kotlin is better.

Javascript, like Python wins here. Well Javascript kind of wins because it is interpreted but devs do not use it directly but rather with a bundler/compiler.

> Plus, aren't Deno libs compatible with Node libs

Not really, if your dependency relies on say `https` module then it'll not work on Deno as it does not have it. And in the case of Deno modules, they are not on `npm` to begin with but even if you import them then they are written in Typescript.

Better language or not Java is reigning king in enterprise companies. We have built our platform on top of Node.js assuming it would gain popularity but Node.js is nowhere near production use in large enterprises. Somehow the enterprise adoption has been miniscule. JVM performance is top notch. Many features like distributed transactions, messaging support, official libraries for enterprise applications like SAP is severely lacking in Node.js and hindering its adoption in enterprises.
