If you want examples of "industrial-sized" Go projects right now, you may have to look at case studies for proprietary cloud infrastructure, e.g. CloudFlare, Fastly, DigitalOcean, SoundCloud, and SendGrid. These companies obviously don't open up their product code, but they've been happy to share some information about their use of Go.
- jgrahamc 10y agoWe share quite a lot of code: https://cloudflare.github.io/#cat-Go https://cloudflare.github.io/#cat-Go
- fnl 10y agoYes, I've noticed for years that Go gets heavily used in web service-oriented startups with many concurrent users (plus, its easier to pick up than Erlang :-)). But what I would really hope to see is Go being used for anything else than servers/services. I understand this is all the rage for certain companies, but none of that directly touches my own interests. Is Go only good for that niche, or will we see Go being adopted outside that "web services world"? E.g., for building old-school desktop apps, Go's concurrency features might be pretty cool - if its not too low-level for that?
