Google I/O 2012 - Go in Production

Andrew Gerrand

Since Go's release in 2009 many companies (besides Google, of course) have used the language to build cool stuff. In this session programmers from several companies will share their first-hand experience using Go in production environments.

For all I/O 2012 sessions, go to https://developers.google.com/io/

"Magic systems can break magically" lol, so true. Gotta love Go!

Gustavo is a very sharp guy. I remember a bit of back and forth with him a couple years ago (I think) when he was implementing the sync.WaitGroup feature, that was at one time called a Barrier. I had a competing implementation of an actual CyclicBarrier, but the WaitGroup is general enough to provide the same synchronization. He does good stuff, and the Go community is richer for his contributions.

i'm learning Go right now and it just seems like a rearranged C with a couple of python features

Quite enlightening. Thanks!

@GoogleDevelopers Due to the sound issues on this video you should probably turn on captions by default.

hehe, thanks for pointing that out :)

Dear Google. Please fix the sound-issues you're still having with presentations. At least turn up the levels and clean the sound on people whose microphone didn't work.

Thanks for all

Especially the fish

I'm sure most got it, but for those who didn't the 'guy with the glasses' who asked the question about GC, was commander Pike :-)

I agree with Gustavo. Almost every feature of Go already exists somewhere else, but Go has been the only one to borrow the best from everywhere.
