I didn't say it was impossible to do parallel work in Go. You can get parallelism in Node, too, by using workers, or by just forking processes and having them communicate with pipes. Rather, what I was trying to emphasize is that Go—and Node—aren't designed for parallelism. Go has good support for concurrency, not parallelism. Parallel languages have feature sets more like CUDA, C++ with OpenMP, OpenCL, etc.
