That is my exact observation as well, whenever I go to use and examine a piece of narrow and self-contained piece of Open Source software I'm not surprised to find the good ones are often written in Go. Some things that come to mind are Hashicorp Nomad, nsqd, InfluxDB/Telegraf, restic, etc. I think the common thread here, and what separates this from internal tools a la "Amazon is 90% Java" is that these tools are Open Source from the beginning and want to encourage community contribution as much as possible. I don't like using go myself, but even I can't deny that if you're running an Open Source project and would like to encourage contributions from people of different levels of involvement and general programming proficiency, go is one of your safest bets. |
