@alcinnz @davidgerard I had just kind of gotten around to accepting a plan to start a rewrite in Go at my day job. The alternative is C# and I had just barely been convinced that Go was the least nasty alternative, when this happened.
That said I still think Go seems more likely to survive as an open source fork than C# if/when the company abandons it, so it may still be the alternative that's the least likely to be a waste of time to learn here ...
@bkhl @davidgerard I hear GCC already has a Go compiler...
It can be hard for them to keep up with the "move fast & break things" mentality of a lot modern languages, but that certainly helps!
