Interesting that this is written in Go - I think it's the first open source release from Google that I've seen written in their language.

I wonder if anyone in here can comment on whether that is indicative of a trend inside Google - are people writing less Python / Java in there these days?

We also announced cAdvisor in go. This is a container metrics monitoring component.

I don't know about "less Python/Java", but Go has been on the rise at Google internally, and has been used in public-facing services for a while.

dl.google.com (which powers Chrome downloads) and the MySQL database management layer for Youtube[0] have both been written in Go for a while now.
