For those who don't know, a 'gopher' is someone who writes Go, also known by the google-friendly term golang (https://golang.org/). Go compiles to ASM, and is very, very, good at concurrency and incredibly fast.
Do we have any Gophers here aside from me?
I've coded a few things (university related) in Go. Personally, I really like the language :-)
It's a cool but not really that useful. I don't see much of a use also since I mostly deal with Python to write cad.
I'm a software engineer and where I work, around 90% of our back-end stack is in Go, all microservice stuff serving a pretty high volume of traffic, we really love it
I'll gopher a new life if you can deliver me one. Oh wait that is "go for" and you are not talking about what I am talking about. Sorry : P
I'd enjpy working at a company that uses Go - or is open to new languages. Many seem to be stuck on Java, PHP and C/C++. (Sure, often due to the fact that they already have many different tools written in their preferred language)
Go is starting to slowly creep up in a few places at out company. One place is Bosun (an open source alerting system by StackExchange), I had the pleasure of poking around in the code, frankly I'm still quite far from understanding Go fully, but I enjoy the build system greatly, a single binary file is just insanely portable. We're also hiring a dude that is apparently good at Go, maybe with his initiative Go will see some use in our team. It will not be an easy move, as our code base basically consists of C# and Java and our developers only really know these languages well. Though, I'm definitely open to try it out.
Bump!
Has anyone built anything recently with Go? Would love to give it a look
Me too.
It's alright
Has some quirks that are pretty interesting.
