For what it's worth, I moved to node.js late and even then only reluctantly. I only used it for one project, and found it to be a somewhat difficult experience, like I was fighting the language all the time. (It was still a step up from PHP which I'd been clinging to.) I didn't realize how much I disliked JS playing "loose and fast" until I used Go with its rigidity.
