Doesn't really make me wonder. I haven't really seen anything about python's new async stuff that indicates it's on par with node's (reply here if you found anything, I've been looking for this information!). And if python is caught up with node, it would be at very high risk of performing the same and having another random performance gotcha. Golang is one of the natural choices to replace a nodejs application for performance reasons. It's low-level, faster, uses less memory.
