Don't be too much rigid on a programming language, try to be just good at nearly all of them. Focus on problem solving

💯 agreed. Problem solving doesn't depend on language.

Every language has its own advantages. Depends on your requirements.

What would be the reason for preferring Node.JS assuming it’s an interpreted language.

Non blocking I/O - but that too has its challenges, hate the language though

JS/TS is pretty good and will get the job done. Python is good for quick scripting to help with small tasks. I have seen go mostly being used in Infra tools due to its concurrency. Java is bloated and good for large systems due to its coherence with OOP principles, for quick iterations it is pretty time consuming.
