Crossing the Language Chasm
summary
Claims that Go already sits beyond Google with at least ten conferences worldwide and thousands of users, that Docker drove many early adopters, and that the language can evolve because only the grammar is frozen while compiler and GC work can change . Calls out specific fixes: garbage collector improvements in Go 1.5, the underrated net/html server rendering package, and the long unresolved dependency story where vendor tools like godep and gb repeatedly fail so new focused tooling is needed. Community patterns: be patient, be helpful, be kind.
