@alcinnz @davidgerard I had just kind of gotten around to accepting a plan to start a rewrite in Go at my day job. The alternative is C# and I had just barely been convinced that Go was the least nasty alternative, when this happened.
That said I still think Go seems more likely to survive as an open source fork than C# if/when the company abandons it, so it may still be the alternative that's the least likely to be a waste of time to learn here ...
