We used it to write our own simple distributed computing software after realizing hadoop was too complicated (and thus bug prone) for our embarrassingly parallel needs.
It took us less time to get the system written, stable and up and running then it had to get hadoop setup (different developers so not a fair comparison but still).
It feels like python with the good parts of C on linux (most things are file like object) and I plan on using it more and more as the ecosystem of available libraries matures.
- fizx 15y agoSounds like a hell of a blog article. I hope you write it.
- Morcane 15y agoYea, I agree, blog needs to be written. I would love to see one, since we're in the same boat (deciding between Hadoop or a bit of homegrown stuff for our simple needs). And I'm really curious about Go in general. The vibe seems really positive, kind of Java-vibe like back in the 90ies.
