Go as an alternative to Node.js for Very Fast Servers

Great having one bringing a balanced view on Go and showing that Go is still not ready for production when used with external libs. A refreshing take in this overhyped thread.

I'm not sure I'd agree that it is not ready for production, but there are some kinks (relatively minor I feel) which will become more apparent when it is used more widely than it is currently in production. Just as Ruby (for example) has gone through a trial of fire since becoming popular because of Rails, and has been much improved because of it.

Java and C++ never developed package management at all, but have been used in production for years. Golang is already ahead of those languages here.
