So, I am not a big fan of Javascript. I do not despise it or anything, I just never got to like it. I guess.
I did really love POE, though, so when I heard of Node.JS, I thought I will probably like this very much.
I am not sure what happened. I think it was the tutorials being always out of date. Node.js seem so be such a fast-moving target. I do not mind asynchronous, callback-driven code. But when a tutorial that was written three months ago fails to run because some library had a breaking API change in between, that tends to drive me away.
Think of Go what you want, but its policy towards backward compatibility is a big plus.
