The interesting question for me is, is Go straightforward enough to use through the discovery phase? Or do you really need to use a scripting language to evolve the API rapidly? I love Ruby and have worked in a high performance Ruby environment, but it can be pretty problematic to scale (and frankly, it was Apache and Solr that made the environment high performance, not Ruby). Clearly Go can scale, but would it significantly slow down early development?
