A curated collection of side-by-side code examples comparing Go and Node.js/JavaScript syntax and idioms, covering basics like variables, control flow, arrays, maps, files, JSON, and datetime handling. It is a learning guide for developers transitioning between the two languages, maintained as a read-only archived repository.

Use cases

• learn Go coming from a Node.js background
• compare Go and JavaScript syntax side by side
• find the Go equivalent of common Node.js patterns like map, filter, and reduce
• reference guide for translating JavaScript idioms to Go
• understand how buffers, files, and JSON work in Go versus Node.js
• quick cheatsheet for Go basics while doing a Tour of Go follow-up

When to choose

• you already know Node.js/JavaScript and want to pick up Go quickly through familiar examples
• you want a free, example-driven reference rather than a full tutorial
• you need quick lookups for how a common task (loops, JSON, file I/O) is done in both languages

When to avoid

• you need a comprehensive or up-to-date Go tutorial, since the repo is archived and read-only
• you are learning Node.js from scratch with no prior programming experience
• you want interactive exercises or a structured curriculum instead of static examples
