For me, the go threading model is easier. I just can't stand DOM and web programming in general. Currently working on a problem doing some computation across dozens of cores on multiple servers and go makes it a lot easier to spawn the 1000 goroutines and coordinate between them. I guess everyone has different interests and perhaps it is similar for those we hire.

Because you didn't take the time to learn the DOM, that's all. I doubt learning a simple composite API made of dumb nodes is more difficult than writing thread safe programs in Go. I'm not talking about tastes or interests, I'm talking about ease of learning.

Go isn't 'easy to pick up'. For loops, if statements and co are basic, and they are in all languages, that's my point. There is nothing particularly easy with Go.
