George, I’ve been reading up on Go.
Now I see why you are thinking of supporting it.
It is in use on the web:
Yet, it has its critics regarding DEPENDENCIES:

Why should it be closed?
This post is perfectly civil with just a popular/unpopular opinion in it and several people giving their remarks and comments.
It’s far from qualifying as a “to be closed post”.

In my defense I must say that @Dave is the one to blame here.

I feel you. I lost the count of how many times I have been in the giving and receiving end of that “excussation”.
I miss those times when someone came looking for you and you could easily push the blame to the person next to you just because. Or the guy who was never there.
Corporate office times! Those were the days!

I like it. Having been a BBS admin, a server admin, a game server admin, and several other types of ‘admin’ my skin has toughened over the years. I’ll admit to having been an outright troll too (in the past). Met Weev (Andy Auernheimer) on several occasions (master troll, bit of a wanker too, but one hell of a troll) and was involved in quite a lot of excursions in the trolling community… A bit of banter never hurt anyone. Maybe one or two sore butts out there… Never personal though!

Snowflakism and Flanderism are actual things indeed. Kumbayaing your way through the internet is cute but come one.
Let’s be serious 
Tilting people is the number one internet sport world-wide. Never personal as you say.
You always surprise me with who you get to meet! Andy Auernheimer in the flesh! The guy is crazy.
I was also a bbs administrator back in the 90’s. Above all I remember the words i used the most “Mom, don’t pick up the phone!”
I don’t have the screenshots but my splash screen looked like this:
And the name was “Nirvana files” where you can download 3 files (usually 45kb gif images) if you upload one. I also traded accesses to AOL internet … but I better not talk about that … 
oh man those were fun times.

Glorious days! My mum still tells stories about my £500 phone bill when I was about ten. I got in to trouble with Activision war dialing and the police came to my house as I was not so smart and our number was tracked back to my parents place. Got invited to Activisions HQ to play games on a Saturday (my first real job as a kid outside of a paper-round) after getting a telling off. Spurred my life long love of computers on and here we are now!

I found this interesting set of videos show how to build clones of successful portals using PHP, MySQL and JS.

It seems still developers are preferring to work in PHP as oppose to NodeJS.
One more interesting site for developers: https://dev.to/
Trolling intensifies.

There are also people who are still using classic ASP, which has been dead for the past 10 years or so 
Still this doesn't make it a good choice.
Not sure who's this Christopher guy with 1000 followers on youtube or what's his famous for, but i wouldn't judge for the rest of the developers by a random youtube poster.

hahahahaha … i know i know… BUT just to say it again!!!
For the few features that node gives you above php … it really still not convinced …
If i look at the amount of questions … and bugs … on node js… then ill just stick to the “boring not so robust old technology of php”… at least its stable… and i can do loads more work without a worry so far…
TO be fair… NodeJs does look awesome and has freaking great features… but just all over the place right now… my clients wants stuff now… if i break something and not working via some update… they dont want to hear about it… … php has saved my butt way more times than i can think…
@JonL … still like you… even if im not a nodejs “converted” disciples anymore… so im giving my noddy badge back for now

The amount of bugs for node is no more than the bugs in other server models such as PHP or .NET actually. You can work with node with the same confidence/not worrying as you work with PHP.
It seems to me you guys just focus on some small bugs you see reported for nodejs and say - “see there are bugs in nodejs integration, it’s not worth it”, but that is not really true.
