The primary difference with other languages is not the availability of features - in general, pretty much every major language has almost all what you might need - but the differences in bundling. Many other languages have larger standard libraries, so things that might be "yet another dependency" in npm would be part of the standard distribution in other languages; and there are different approaches to bundling, as the same thing that might be dozens of dependencies in npm would be distributed and maintained as a single large package elsewhere.
