"Like" is relative and based on tradeoffs. Loved Rick's talk, thanks.

This last year I worked on a project with people from the valley, we used Go, and everyone contributed quality code. This is because people in SF area know Go.

A year ago I worked on a project with people from the midwest, we used node, and got the same quality. Much fewer people in the midwest know Go.

Independent of my feelings about both environments, CSP, callback hell, etc, at the end of the day my team and I have to build a product, and I try to pick the tool that best matches our combined skillsets.

Absolutly. For some stuff node.js works perfectly well and knowlage is often the hardest thing to come by.
