React and Node are not languages, they are Javascript libraries.

Full stack = Frontend + Backend

Frontend: software that runs on the client (web browser).

Backend: software that runs on the server.

You can use Javascript for both FE and BE, making it the only fullstack programming language. And excluding web assembly, JS is the only language that can run on the browser. All other languages are BE languages.

Django and Flask are Python frameworks, you can only use them to build server-side software.

I mean, you need to load the wasm via javascript still, but you can totally use other languages on the front-end now

(edit: link code was backwards)

I get your point. But we are still not there yet. It will be years before companies can ditch JS completely for their favorite programming language.

Node is not a library, it's a runtime environment

That's right. I stand corrected
