Today, I go back and forth between three languages at work - .Net, JavaScript, and Python. For simple prototype web apps or more realistically REST microservic APIs to feed front end frameworks, I really don’t see either being slower to develop.

For larger applications with multiple developers working in the same code base, the compile time checking of static languages is a god send. I would at least move over to TypeScript instead of plain JavaScript.
