If you're stuck on solving something in Node, rewriting in an "easier" language may not solve the problem ... especially when you don't know Python to begin with. I'm a big Flask fanboy and I'll agree with other answers here: stick with what you know, we're all here to help you get through whatever bumps you're having. A rewrite into a new language will take way longer than fixing a problem you're having. Caveat: if the problem you're having is poor architecture and you're going to rewrite anyway then maybe it's different, but I'm betting that your existing knowledge in JS will make a rewrite faster there, still.
