Google Go boldly goes where no code has gone before

文章中说到与Nodejs的对比: The New Node?

Node.js shows great numbers for heavy numbers of clients, and they’ve done a really good job. But if those clients are CPU-intensive, they’ve got no place to go. You can’t get the parallelism you need. With Go, you get the best of both worlds: You get many clients easily handled, and if they’re CPU intensive, you can imagine scaling to a much larger number of requests.

同步形式的异步代码:

That lets you write asynchronous code in a synchronous style. As people, we’re much better suited to writing about things in a synchronous style.

Node作者 Ryan Dahl 回答:

JavaScript is a familiar language to a whole generation of developers, The ability to apply an existing programming language to the domain of writing servers goes a long way towards being ‘easy’. The Node runtime doesn’t provide parallel execution, if you like, you can take advantage of the parallelism in the operating system, “pre-forking” the Node server.

NodeConf Slides: NodeConf演讲稿

Ryan Dahl 在Node v0.5 Roadmap 讲到， 将在下一版本实现对windows的原生支持，不再需要Cygwin的辅助了。

Ryan Dahl’s NodeConf slides includes some background on liboio with a focus on Windows support.

Today Node runs on Windows via Cygwin. This is an unacceptable port. Cygwin is slow, old, buggy. Users hate it

nTunes

nTunes (MIT License) by Nathan Rajlich is a REST API for controlling iTunes. There’s an npm package, but you might want to install this globally:

Kanso

完全利用javascript可以运行在浏览器端和服务器的特性，将使web开发达到机制体验。 什么时Kanso：

Modern web development increasingly means pushing more logic onto the client. This provides us with fast and responsive interfaces, but not without cost. When grafted onto traditional web-frameworks, rich interfaces require the complete re-implementation of features on both the server and client-side. Form validation, Templating and URL routing must either be handled at both ends or become fragile and insecure.

IBM Doesn’t Care About Node.Js People

IBM上的一篇关于Nodejs的文章写得太过分， 激怒了Nodejs社区上的许多开发者。 为了避免误导Nodejs的新开发者，Marak Squires 写了此文章来申讨IBM的上的这篇不负责任的文章。
