Ask HN: Node.JS or Golang for a new Sauce App

4 points by turbo_pax ↗ HN
I'm thinking of doing a Sauce App and handling payments with Stripe.

I need to know which has better support for Stripe and overall a more reliable easy-to-learn web framework out of the two?

I don't know about stripe compatibility, but...

For the easy-to-learn part: absolutely use node.js. And just use take the learning curve of a few days to look at some more advanced frameworks instead of bare-metal node.js. I highly recommend sails.js[1] (incredible fast API building for production-ready systems) or derby.js[2] (if you like to have extensive code-reuse for server/client).
