> Its success, like most languages, will depend on library support. By that measure Go's standard library is very extensive: http://weekly.golang.org/pkg/ http://weekly.golang.org/pkg/ There are also a lot of 3rd party packages (e.g., http://godashboard.appspot.com/package http://godashboard.appspot.com/package) most of which can be installed in a single command. For my purposes, Go's standard library has proved as complete as Python's (http://docs.python.org/library/index.html http://docs.python.org/library/index.html) and includes some things that the Python standard library doesn't (e.g., crypto, graphics), all the more impressive IMO considering how relatively young Go is.
