I wrote my first fibonacci sequence test program in Go about four years ago. Now I am full-time admin of a large real-time cryptocurrency charting website that pushes 30MM+ messages to clients per minute, written entirely in Go. I've learned a ton about programming from Go and I'm not sure I would have managed to build the system at all with another language. Go gets a lot of flak for its simplicity, but what it does it does very well. The concurrency model, networking packages, tooling, and simple deployment make it a joy to work with and I owe a lot to the Golang team. Happy birthday!
