I haven't done any real work in Go yet but this sounds like one of the (many) use cases it's well suited to.

Unfortunately this overview is light on any meaningful details. As a general rule a rewrite of any project will result in fewer lines of code, however, in general, a rewrite of any project is a terrible idea.

Given that this seems to be a situation in which you have a lot of blocking waiting for concurrent requests, why not try something like gevent?

It's good for people to try different approaches and technologies. I'm glad they managed to have success with Go, that's good for everyone. It would have been interesting for the reader to see some of the gory details of hacking around with the existing codebase to see some of the ideas that may (not) have worked.
