I haven’t yet had my hands on the Go programming language<\/a>, but I’ve kept a bit of an eye on \u00a0it. \u00a0It sounds interesting especially for those tasks that would benefit from concurrency – things like web spiders, email processors, etc. \u00a0The language had recently celebrated the 4th birthday, and there is a nice retrospective<\/a> on the project’s blog that shows how fast it is getting accepted and which projects and companies are using it.<\/p>\n
