Later this month I'm joining a company that is fairly Go-intensive. They originally prototyped in Perl, but over time needed more performance but not to the level that would require assembler or even C.
What else have folks observed?
I've migrated a couple of personal and work stuff from Python 2 to Go in the last three months. I've found that there is a larger third party library community now and the syntax isn't that foreign looking to me anymore, (see this Gist for an example, <https://gist.github.com/myles/a8ed889f4de1cde6be8be2640b34c89e>). Also that speed gain is hard to ignore. I wouldn't write a web application in Go but I would write a bunch of background tasks and use gopy[0] to integrate Python and Go together.
