Gotchas from Two Years with Node
The switch from Node to Go seems quite popular right now and it honestly makes me thing there's something wrong with the general perception of Node.We are currently in a world where we have a huge amount of traffic on almost every web app with just a discrete success, but we still make the mistake to pick a technology that seems "good enough", instead to pick a "great one" because looks slightly harder to manage/learn/deploy. I know that during the early stage, pace is very important and RAILS or Node are easier and faster to handle compare to Scala or Erlang, but sometimes another technology at the beginning would save a lot of headaches and night calls. We still fail at the very early stage to choice the right technology, but nobody is afraid to admit it and to switch, I find this amazing.
