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

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 love Node. But it's all really just syntax and more importantly for
us... DB connectivity. I've only used Node in one big project and it was
great. But if the API calls would have been available as normal RESTful
requests and not Node APIs I would have used RPG most likely.

Which was my point.. not which is better, which is first, etc. It's what's
more popular and which ones are the flavor of the month. We get all this
on the IBM i and now we want even more?

Maybe if you want all this OSS you're on the wrong hardware? It's an
honest question.
