What else would I use? I've been writing tons of go code for nearly three years now. I get fast, concurrent, parallel code in very little time.

I was pretty much production-ready with seriesly in two weeks by myself (though I'm starting to get contributions from other users). Last night, I closed my last open issue "bulk interface" by making an optional memcached binary protocol interface with custom packets for database selection and streaming data in.

Today, I started a new project with a new guy, and got some pretty impressive internal demos working after a couple hours of work.

I get lots of things done fast and reliably. This doesn't happen as much for me in other languages. I went into more details in the follow-up post where I described how I built seriesly (and keep in mind, I wrote this after it had only been alive for two weeks): http://dustin.github.com/2012/09/13/inside-seriesly.html

Sorry, I didn't know your history. I was truly curious to know if this was a problem you decided to solve strictly so you could use Go, or if that was just your, pardon me, "go to" language. It appears the latter. I hope I'm not implying that you SHOULDN'T have used it; my query was truly just curiosity, since I'm curious about the language. I'm trying to get a feel for what other people are doing with it "for real".
