Except the first release of node was May 2009 and the first announcement of golang November 2009. Node was also first showcased in November 2009.
So for me golang cannot be seen as a replacement for node just from chronological order. Also their design goals at the time seems very different.
- kristoff_it 8y agoI don't mean to imply that it was designed with that goal in mind (for all I know, the date you are quoting still leave ample opportunities for "cross-impollination"), but for day-to-day usage, every service that I would have written in Node in the past, I'm now writing in Go. That, at least for me, feels not as much the "obvious" choice for C programs.
