> With Go you can literally have thousands of goroutines running at the same time (like coroutines -- only better)

I've been coding Go for some 2 years and I can tell you it does not magically provide your machine with thousands of extra cores so "at the SAME time" is precisely speaking exactly inaccurate. I love coroutines but they're still multi-plexed onto OS threads and they don't all run as massively parallel as you suggested.
