This language has been a huge boon to our field: simple to learn, easy to support, capable of excellent performance, delivering long term compatibility for production code, and with one of the fastest compilers around. I think people now forget how much impact Go’s command line tooling has had on user experience for developers. Everyone copied it. I was skeptical of the language at first but have worked mostly in Go for the last 11 years and it has been a joy. Happy 15th, Go!
