Go for System Administrators
A long post that gives two arguments near the end in favor of Go over their old language of choice (Python):<p>1. No dependency issues.<p>2. Compiles with no issues on different platforms.<p>And one sort of argument in between:<p>3. Some of the tools that they use were written in Go.<p>While (1) is true for deployment, dependency handing is not a solved problem in Go. Since import statements do not allow you to specify versions, you have to keep track of which commits of a particular project you trust. I am pretty sure that this problem will be solved, but it currently isn't.<p>(3) is perhaps an argument in favor of being able to read Go, but not to switch to Go. By those standards, everyone on Unix should be writing C ;).
