Express is not in the same category as Laravel, what gets closer to Laravel in the NodeJS world would be Adonis (that I know of). Express is essentially a modular router (for people that think that server-side JS is a good idea)

If you run `laravel new my-app`, you got an application with caching, database, queue, views, translations, whatever else you can think of, ready to use with things like Oauth / Payments / E2E Testing / Feature flags / Search... a command away.

You don't get that with Express, you don't get that with Django, from what I've seen (but I'd be very happy to be wrong!)
