Yeah, but there is no comparison to the same project done in Lisp, Haskell, Java, etc.

All the author is doing is relating their success using Go, which is great, but there is no comparison to how it would have fared in another language, except his previous frustrations with C#, on other projects, I guess.

It would be ridiculous to expect Canonical (and even moreso, the author alone) to rewrite juju in another language as a simple comparison. Even if it were feasible, the comparison would be polluted by the experience gained by building the application initially (or you could rebuild with a completely new team of developers, but then you're introducing a whole new set of variables). The best we can reasonably do is compare applications aggregating on language.

Juju was originally written in Python. They ported it to Go 4 years ago.
