Every language I think about is better than PHP (Javascript, Python, Ruby). Personally I will choose Javascript / Node JS platform to start with.

why? Those three come with the same amount of quirkiness and issues. There is a reason why you have Typescript or golang, for example.

Typescript is just a much improved javascript, to the point of these two just being two dialects of the same language. I wouldn't make a distinction between the two. Performance-wise, as a servrr-side language, they both have the same strengths and weaknesses.
