Node.js vs. Python: How to choose the best technology to develop your backend
TypeScript has gained popularity in recent years, and to put things into perspective, it has over 29 million weekly downloads on npm. According to the Stack Overflow 2021 developer survey, it is ranked as the third most-loved programing language, beating Python, Node.js, and JavaScript itself.

How to read audio data from a 'MediaStream' object in a C++ addon
After sweating blood and tears I've finally managed to set up a Node C++ addon and shove a web-platform standard MediaStream object into one of its C++ methods for good. For compatibility across different V8 and Node.js versions, I'm using Native Abstractions for Node.js (nan):

Electrons Are Fast, So Can Be Electron – How to Optimize Electron App Performance
If we want it fast, Node-API looks like a perfect solution. A library written in C/C++ must be fast. If you prefer to use C++ over C, the node-addon-api can help. This is probably one of the best solutions available, especially since it is officially supported by the Node.js team. It’s super stable once it is built, but it can be painful during development. Errors are often far from easy to understand, so if you are no expert in C, it might kick your ass very easily.

Calling C++ from nodejs
Did a little digging, napi is header file in an npm package that's supposed to help you build C++ addons, node_api is node's actual API. https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-api you might have already been using this. The examples have enough code that it shouldn't be too bad to get started
