> Nodejs is still outpacing Golang according to Google Trends and yet I have never seen a single article about switching from X language to Node.js.

This is not the endorsement you seem to think it is.

> My guess is that the Go community probably wouldn't exist if it wasn't for this constant form of aggressive propaganda/marketing. Node.js on the other hand doesn't need any marketing/propaganda; it just sells itself.

Your guess? This is pure emotion arguing here. I have rolled my eyes at the golang converts for literally years and recently I decided to give it a try and it truly sold itself, sans marketing. I also really like node.js, for what that's worth. This comparison sounds like the hurt feelings of the True Believer.

Different tools have different applications. Don't ever forget it.
