Interview with Ryan Dahl, Creator of Node.js
&gt; That said, I think Node is not the best system to build a massive server web. I would definitely use Go for that. And honestly, that&#x27;s basically the reason why I left Node. It was the realization that: oh, actually, this is not the best server side system ever.<p>Really interesting. I can imagine others would refuse to give up on the thing they&#x27;d worked so hard on. But Dahl has the self-awareness to just step back and say &quot;huh, guess this isn&#x27;t so great after all&quot;.<p>Huge props to the guy.
