Golang is pretty beloved at BuzzFeed.

It’s one of our two standard languages - the other being Python - and whilst the vast majority of our services are Python, Golang is being used for growing and significant number too.

Touching on my first point, we have observed people enjoy writing Go apps, and it is a great fit particularly where performance and scalability are needed.

Therefore when engineers have moved to another team internally, they often will evangelize Golang to their new team members.

So we expect it to continue to grow and thrive here!
