Offtopic but does anyone know of a Django alternative in JavaScript with similar level of maturity?

If you mean in the frontend, AngularJS was going in that direction. Then react came along and the angular developers decided to copy it, in a different language and with even more boilerplate.

I believe nowadays it's ember the one that comes with batteries included, but I haven't used it nor read a lot about it so don't quote me on that.

If you meant the backend, the only one I always hear about is express, but I'm not sure about that one either.

Sails.js is a fill-stack JavaScript framework with similar scope to Django, such as:

- MVC - routing - templating (though, swappable) - ORM

As for maturity, Sails.js has been under active development for around 5 years, with a 1.0 release candidate available.
