i'm going to get downvoted on this for sure, but basically if you enjoy writing mindless, infinitely nested callbacks then nodejs is for you.

i liked the package manager npm, but otherwise i prefer golang all the way for backend code.

I prefer Rails or Elixir, but golang is a solid choice.

came from ror/sinatra, but really like the deployment ease of golang, just copy a binary, dont need rvm, ruby interpreter, gems, etc. i think the performance is much better for golang, but i dont like golang's orms and the templating languages really suck relative to haml, etc. i mostly use golang for restful api backends and mobile on the frontend (mobile first), but for dynamic websites, golang is not that interesting.
