Do you remember TJ Holowaychuk?

TJ (https://github.com/tj) used to be a significant JavaScript contributor and could easily be labeled as the "rockstar" of the time. In 2014 he switched from Node to Go (http://bit.ly/1FBlN2f) and I haven't heard of him ever since. Is it just me, or is there a correlation?
