Agreed. The bias is towards Go from the start. Additionally, the example isn't entirely trivial; it's dangerous to leave out half of the argument. The Node code could suffer from a lack of optimisation, notwithstanding the fact that the engine version isn't disclosed — and that makes a huge difference.

The notion that Node is aimed at MVPs is a hackneyed one, too. Node powers plenty of massive production sites & apps, and is omnipresent in cloud infrastructure (Lambda, Lambda@EDGE, Google Cloud Functions, Firebase etc). The point has been raised and mooted incessantly, and quoting Ryan Dahl — who resigned from the project during its infancy in 2012 — is uncontextual and misguided in equal measure.
