As a Node.js developer, it can be challenging to admit that Node is not ideal for complex multithreading applications due to its single-threaded nature.
The limitations of Node.js were highlighted in a scenario where the developer needed to synchronize databases with strict API request limits, leading to issues with maintaining 24/7 synchronization.
In contrast, Go showcased its strength in handling multithreading tasks with built-in support for background jobs running on multiple threads, enabling the developer to handle a large number of jobs seamlessly.
However, despite Go's advantages in multithreading capabilities, the developer noted the challenge of limited community support in niche areas compared to Node.js.
