What is Node?
Node is an eminent JavaScript runtime environment that is often mistaken for a programming language. Node is used to creat...

In my opinion, Node + TypeScript is so much mental baggage that you're better off using Go. HOWEVER, one shouldn't be blind to market realities. As such, we can "prefer" a technology stack, but we certainly don't get to "choose" one.
"It possesses the speed of Python and the benefits of C."
lol
Yeah that should be kinda the other way around, lol ;)
Reminds me of a quip I thought was funny...
(Note: I like Java. I like Python. I have a love-hate relationship with C++. For those who are Java fans, substitute C# for Java.)
I vaguely remember having heard that one before as well haha :)
I appreciate everyone's thoughts and opinions on the matter. However, as discussed above every language being great in their strengths, also have some weaknesses. This blog just provided a high-level overview of Node vs. GO. Finally, everyone has to choose the finest language that meets their company needs and offers value to their time investment.
Thank you for taking time to read our blog.
This article kinda obscures the fact that Go really runs rings around Node when it comes to performance (talking about highly scalable network apps) ...
Node is not high performance. It's pretty slow compared to other solutions.
Haven't tried python though....
Read stories about companies running high scalability networking apps (think REST APIs and sockets and all that), and after converting their codebase from Node to Go they ended up needing one fifth or one tenth of the hardware to run it ...
Now faster with uWebSockets.js.

There is Rust also, way faster than both of node and go all together. Deno, for instance, developed using Rust..
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Yes, It's really tough compared to node and go.
One day I want to give Go a try.
Elixir + test suite
