Did they actually advertise it as a language for web services? I thought it
was designed for command line tools mostly, not for serving HTTP/HTML.

- SyneRyder 11y agoThe first version of the Golang web site doesn't mention the web: "A systems programming language: expressive, concurrent, garbage-collected." However one of the first programming examples on the Effective Go page is a web server. https://web.archive.org/web/20091112094121/http://golang.org/ https://web.archive.org/web/20091112094121/http://golang.org...
