I don’t doubt the language has improved. I just don’t see a point when there’s a million other options. In the 90s/early 2000s, you had Perl, Python, Java, and PHP. Ruby was playing around the fringes. There had been some attempts at server side JavaScript, but they weren’t well developed or integrated with the frontend the way it is today.
