Man, a new one every few months. That's gonna keep the IBM OSS people on

Actually, Go is more-or-less a contemporary of Node.js (both debuted in 2009).

They are actually quite different in character. (Go is statically
typed, like C or Java. Node.js, being JavaScript, is more like PHP or
Python.) But Go would be a great language to have on the i.

I mean, almost any language would be a good language to have on the i,
but I think Go would be especially attractive because it's probably
the easiest of the statically typed languages for the average
programmer to pick up. ("Serious" systems-level programmers tend to
like Rust better than anything else, but that one requires a bigger
shift in thinking from what most midrangers are probably used to.)
