I agree with the suggestion to move to a functional language -- Ruby and Python wouldn't teach you much on top of Node and Go. Doesn't really matter which one -- Scheme, Haskell, Clojure, whichever.

I've also used node-webkit but either I can't match the performance of a desktop with my code or node-webkit can't. I'm mainly referring to UI interaction.
node-webkit runs on Linux, that's a pretty reasonable choice for cross-platform development these days. Used by https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable and https://github.com/slate/slate, for example.
