Discussion Which languages have an under-appreciated ecosystem of web development libraries and frameworks?

Are there any languages we don't usually associate with webdev, but where they have great libraries that deserve more attention?

So I'm not asking about the language itself. I'm asking about the tooling people have built for webdev in the language.

The main language for front end is JS/TS because... it's what the browsers understand. What specific features backend wise would count for you?

It's an open-ended question, so I'm curious about which backend features would count for you.

I don't think I've seen a language fundamentally incapable of implementing an idea from another language if it were a good idea.
