I think the reason why too many people use javascript it's because you can use it in frontend or backend of your application. And i think it is much faster than others. And also it uses ajax/rest api :D

Javascript had gotten a lot faster in recent times, that's true but compared to anything close to native it's still slow and the single thread nature of node.js makes it terrible for anything cpu intensive.

You can write and consume rest apis with pretty much every other language as well.
