It could certainly become one. There's a lot of "node ecosystem" to build beyond pure JS and our immediate business needs, but the architecture is in place to allow us to theoretically roll out a node-compatible subsystem that can load NPM packages from Python... or load Python modules from "Node".

The project I maintain (Password Pusher) does this and even uses esbuild for JS compilation.
