One thing to consider is that Node.js is not just a language you're learning but a whole different way of doing things. Node.js is also not a general purpose backend - it works well for certain high throughput scenarios but it's terrible for CPU bound processing (ie. anything sequential that's not truly asynchronous). It's great to learn Node and use it for things where it makes sense, but as a one stop solution that's a very bad choice.
