FWIW node could be much better for web stuff as well, but yeah I wouldn't use Go for that personally. However Go suits well-defined things like APIs very well, and if you have a large application that needs to be robust, and built on smaller services, then your site/app would just become a front-end for that anyway, so Go would be a great solution there.
languages that favors usability, and Nodejs should not become one of them Well scaling vertically isn't the "correct" way to scale either, so it might as well be usable. Massive applications run on much much slower platforms, YouTube etc, and I can guarantee most uses of node hardly need the "performance". When you have a real performance problem, you usually have the money to spawn a server or two. Throwing man-hours debugging brittle code is not worth it, especially in young startups that can't afford to make mistakes. The great thing about Node is that it's JavaScript, the terrible thing about Node is that it wastes the good part by being fundamentally flawed and broken usability. If you want raw performance Node isn't the right choice either IMO. I've been adding maintainers as people have responded to the post, happy to add more just email me with your npm/gh usernames, everyone should be in good hands that way!
