I built Plandex[1] (open source CLI coding agent focused on large projects and tasks) in Go and I’ve been very happy with that decision. Beneath all the jargon, it’s good to remember that an “agent” is ultimately just a bunch of http requests and streams that need to be coordinated—some serially and some concurrently. And while that sounds pretty simple at a high level, there are many subtle details to pay attention to if you want to make this kind of system robust and scalable. Timeouts, retries, cancellation, error handling, thread pools, thread safety, and so on. This stuff is Go’s bread and butter. It’s exactly what it was designed for. It’s not going to get you an MVP quite as fast as node or python, but as the codebase grows and edge cases accumulate, the advantages of Go become more and more noticeable. 1 - https://github.com/plandex-ai/plandex https://github.com/plandex-ai/plandex
