I was asked once by https://github.com/jjperezaguinaga:
I am of the impression that you have a strong love fan for Go.
What's so cool about it? I'm kind of curious.
So here are my anwsers:
easy to learn: http://tour.golang.org took me about 15 hours to complete (with browsing documentation)
language is easy and minimalistic
awesome standard library
awesome community
easy and awesome concurrency model
suitable for system task
kind of C replacement
language for solving interesting problems* easier than never before
xml and json as native type
everything you would do in C you can do in Go without language overhead (no more leaking memory, pointers headaches, header files)
*interesting problems for me are:
http tools (proxies, traffic catchers etc)
ssh tunnels
network solution
managing cloud (deploying, scheduling, etc)
