I’ve been working with Node.js for many years and then with Go within my latest projects.
Seems unlikely to be a comprehensive overview if written by someone who has mostly used node.js (for many years), and doesn't cite background in other languages as well. Still interesting to hear what other developers think on coming to the Go language, but this is just one perspective, hardly a comprehensive overview as the title claims.
Wow this looks pretty dense, but there’s some really good detail here about all the stuff that goes on under the hood when you listen and serve, which I think remains a mystery to most web developers. Can’t wait to see the video.
Some of these claims are a bit over the top. How could it possibly be faster than bare metal? All in memory and cached when talking to external services perhaps? It just seems a little too good to be true. Perhaps one day we will all write services/functions that talk to each other over a bus like this though, it definitely feels to me like there is something in all this serverless hype.
This should be really good for the go project I think.
Gorilla is missing.

Great to see how to use the tracer, I've never used this. And who doesn't love a Mandelbrot set!
Anyone trying this out? Intrigued by the whole idea and there seems to be more and more interest in this serverless idea or functions vs servers.
Interesting quote from the creator of node there. Quite a few node people have moved over to Go, including TJ Hollowaychuk,
