I used go recently when I needed to write a test case when trying to exploit a specific suspected bug. https://github.com/dustin/gohammer https://github.com/dustin/gohammer It was successful in that I found it very easy to express what I wanted and make a concurrent app to do it. It didn't actually find a bug (I'm not entirely sure there was one, but the code that fell out of it is reusable for my next one). When go first came out, I wrote a memcached server in it: http://dustin.github.com/2009/11/12/gomemcached.html http://dustin.github.com/2009/11/12/gomemcached.html -- the language was a little rougher when I started the project (defer didn't work properly until last march), but I still feel pretty good about it.
