There are obvious restrictions in terms of I/O and memory and CPU usage, but it is a nice demonstration of the speed of the compilers. The examples show off some of the more unusual features of Go like closures, concurrent "goroutines" and channels.

- gnuvince 16y agoAccording to the authors (and independently confirmed by a friend of mine who works at Google), it is used for some projects at Google. Unfortunately, no details of those systems are available.
- chewbranca 16y agoI saw Rob Pike talk about Go, and he gave the impression its being used on a rather wide variety of systems related programming inside of google. I don't know of any particular projects though.
