Comment on Ask HN: What do you use Go for?

Comments

I work for MongoDB. There we use go for all of our agents for our various services. Originally they were developed in java and python, but we spent far too much time supporting issues that arose from existing environments run times. A blog post was written that expands on this further. http://blog.mongodb.org/post/51643994762/go-agent-go

In my free time I develop a static site engine called Hugo which is hundreds of times faster than others written in python and ruby and is super easy to install as it is distributed as a single binary without any dependencies. You can learn more about it at http://hugo.spf13.com .

That's really interesting, thanks for sharing :)
