The difference is sending emails to some mailing list and waiting for someone to answer, vs. entering a few keywords to Google and have the top result be the answer you want because someone already asked the same question before. This is not a stab at Go or its maturity, but rather a realistic assessment of the importance of answers being (nearly) instantly available when you're working on a project or troubleshooting a critical issue. |

That would give you a better estimate of the risk you're taking by using that language. And that's where the 30 years of PL design from GO's author gets some importance.
You could consider my argument a bit far fetched, but GO's design has been explicitly focused on keeping things simple and no-surprise, and so far all the reviews seem to agree on that point. That could compensate for the lack of results in Google (especially compared to what node.js forces you to do)
