Crazy that it has been 5 years. Time flies when your having fun.

The golang team has done a fantastic job. It is now my primary language of choice to get things done.

2 years ago I started playing with it moderately, and now in the past 12 months or so it has made its way into my normal workflow and have been delivering completed projects in golang.

I am excited for the next chapter in golang. Keep up the good work!

I've been using it instead of Python as my custom analysis tool - the ease of concurrency makes it very handy when working with large data sets, or gluing various codes together.

Where do you work where you get to pick so freely? What kind of projects?

I am a partner in a software consultancy company. We do any kind of unix based programming, and have worked on everything from financial software, mobile applications and streaming video servers.

Most of my work involves building server applications. I have deployed 4 golang apps this year. One is a pre-caching system that concurrently queries a bunch of mysql servers and caches data into redis. Another is a replication system from couchdb to postgresql, and the other two are slim restful api applications that sit in front of elastic search.
