Toot

@ondrej Most benchmarks are partly/mostly useless, because they never run code as complex as a real world application.

The two most important properties are :

• CPU usage : the speed of both languages is similar BUT node.js uses a small worker pool to run CPU intensive code, and a few CPU intensive tasks might block the event loop, whereas Go can run thousands of goroutines simultaneously

• RAM usage : Go is usually more efficient, if you plan to use A LOT of RAM (GBs), it might be a better choice.

Unless your app is very CPU intensive or RAM intensive, I would say that the right choice is the language you know better.
