JS is so good for APIS because of its dynamic JS objects. If you then take also a document storage you don't need any ORM anymore and write your entire API in 5 mins. Rails was a nightmare compared. JS lets you do stuff yourself. You don't any framework holding your hand. Maybe that's your problem.

In what world you think the usability of a language is determined by being able to get a Restful API up in 5 minutes?

Yeah, document storage for business-critical data. I'll pass. There's a reason important data gets stored in Postgres.
