> Now that I've learned Go, it wouldn't be my first choice. Funny you mention that. I worked at a company that rewrote a project in Go when it was the hot language.

Obviously, that didn't go anywhere. > All I need to finish the task is about 4–6 months of free time… 4-6 months of programmer time is not cheap. You can buy a lot of faster hardware for the price of tying up a single programmer for half a year.
