In the end, I did not learn anything new.

Though I share some of these fears with node after making a few projects.

I would like to learn Go, but Haskell currently catches my eye, despite the lack of hype.

tldr; 'this controversy caught your eye? then please sign up for Koding' ....nginx is 80x faster for serving big text files; node.js has had a difficult to trace memory leak; JavaScript tough to unit test; 30 years of computer science are ignored by JavaScript but integral to Go; Go is awesome and stable.

sign in w/ google or fb? no thanks.

A neat little trick I learned here on HN is to add ?share=1 to the end of the URL to bypass that.
