Important footnote: the creator of Node.js is also the creator of Deno. One of his key reasons for "starting over" with Deno is that the lack of a standard library in Node.js is one of it's biggest pitfalls. That is also one of Denos biggest features (among many other awesome things). Unfortunately there is still a long way to go for Deno to "catch up" to node.js.
As an experienced JS/TS and Python developer, I can confidently say that the Node.js / npm / yarn ecosystem sucks compared to what you get with Python and PyPi.
