It's so interesting how the hype cycle works. Only 1 year ago, people on HN were bashing Node.js hard and saying that you should use Go instead and everyone was praising Go.
Now it seems everyone is bashing Go. Moral of the story; never buy into the hype whether it is positive or negative. I think that Go is just fine and so is Node.js.
Maybe the author of the article makes a valid point, but no language is perfect and ultimately you have to understand it well in order to use it well.
