Nice, I didn't knew this.

I'm researching this topic too and learning Go. So far I see them as complementary server technologies.

Node.JS - share code & couple most of your business logic. Fast development
Go - do the heavy duty work and web services. Fast run time.

I see no reason for other languages like PHP, Ruby or Python in my future, except for legacy reasons, but NodeJS I think is here to stay, I even made a full list of what can be done in Node

Go has a lot more ground to cover, example the AWS Lambda and Google functions don't support it yet.
