I think we need more than 1 account of Go in production before we start high-fiving each other about Go in the mainstream. And to be fair to the person you are responding too, there has been an inordinate amount of Go articles on HN over the last few months compared to anywhere else on the internet tech/dev wise, so much so that a number of my friends have independently made a joke of it.

There are plenty accounts of Go in production: (Google's dl.google.com) https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-nuts/BNUNbKSypE0/E4qSfpx9qI8J https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-nuts/BNUNbKSypE0/E4qS..., (CloudFlare's Railgun) http://blog.cloudflare.com/go-at-cloudflare http://blog.cloudflare.com/go-at-cloudflare, (Bit.ly) http://word.bitly.com/post/29550171827/go-go-gadget http://word.bitly.com/post/29550171827/go-go-gadget, (SoundCloud) http://backstage.soundcloud.com/2012/07/go-at-soundcloud/ http://backstage.soundcloud.com/2012/07/go-at-soundcloud/, (Disqus's realtime-backend) http://blog.disqus.com/post/51155103801/trying-out-this-go-thing http://blog.disqus.com/post/51155103801/trying-out-this-go-t..., etc

>I think we need more than 1 account of Go in production before we start high-fiving each other about Go in the mainstream. I've been programming in Go full time since Go 1.0. Lots of companies use Go: http://golang.cat-v.org/organizations-using-go http://golang.cat-v.org/organizations-using-go -And that is list out of date and not maintained. For example, companies like Mozilla and Walmart are not on that out of date list.

  agreed - we've been using Go in production since before 1.0 and I know of many other high profile companies using it that aren't publicizing their usage for whatever reason. There is no question of whether Go works in production under loads. That has been asked and answered, your honor.

  Definitely nice lists, and nowhere near complete given the data we've collected.

HN and /r/programming both have waves of fetishes. Before Go, it was Node. Before Node, Haskell. Before Haskell, Common Lisp.
