A bit off topic but... I need some resources for evangelizing GO. I do not use it, but... I have a colleague who needs/wants to replace a PHP/Laravel mess. They are talking up Node.js I think GO would be a better choice This article is close to what I need, but is there anything better? The server side code they are looking to replace is handling sensitive financial information and I am very queasy using Node.js in that domain
