> Well, that's what I do. But Go seems to get a disproportionate amount of coverage on HN, particularly compared with what people I've met in real life are using. (at least here in London. Maybe it's much more popular in SV?) There are quite a lot middle/small scale companies using Go in US. I can give you a long list if you want, but you can probably just search it by yourself. I can not speak for Brad, but my impression on his comparison is that he picks up languages which are more used in the field Go is targeting at, not those which are only perfect fit in theory
