I'm sure the reason why users pick node is probably similar reasons why one picks ruby/python -- it's not for the speed.
The language of the web is javascript. Until web browsers allow Go as the embeddable language, node will remain useful. I seriously doubt people would pick Go over node because of a micro-benchmark.
