I have been in this business long enough to know that having a "favorite language" is foolish. There is only the problem and then the solution. Languages are simple a vehicle to solve a problem. The real mark of excellence is understanding the domain of interest in such a way as to plan an effective solution. PHP is good in some situations and Node in others. Whereas there spheres of appropriateness overlap somewhat, by and large they were created for different problem spaces.
