This times a million. I think Go is awesome for a little bit of systems programming but I'd pull my hair out trying to make a robust Web application with it. I feel the same way about Node.js. I wouldn't use either of these for a public facing HTTP application but if I needed some hyper performant internal system using RPCs then I would use them. Ruby's DSLs for writing things that Web application's need (serving HTML) are bar none the best. If I'm writing something that is serving HTML, I'm using Ruby all day, every day.
