Yes, Dobbs captures this here. To be clear, the first re-write of the chat service was from twisted python into tornado python. In that re-write we produced a number of services which implemented the biz logic. One of those services was a TCP terminating edge server which has very little logic in it beside how to call the biz logic and send messages to connected clients. Once this was all written we converted to Go incrementally.
