Go is a language I'm following from its beginning one year ago, and I believe in its potential. It is always difficult to bet on the success or not of a technology (I succeeded for Java, Eclipse, GWT, ..., failed for Groovy for instance). Go has many advantages for its own like Google behind, Ken Thomson as co-creator, nice syntax,http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif performance, ...
But it also lacked up to now of publicity, large developer community, good IDE, no dynamic library binding, and so on...
It is almost the past for all those drawbacks ; Google IO bring GO on before the stage, Eclipse has a quite nice GO plugin, cgo is better and better, ...
Google and the Go development team has worked a lot the past months to offer from now the ability for developers to build AppEngine applications in GO (see )... After Python and Java, Go will be the next language being able to be used with AppEngine... It is a strong message sent to the community in my opinion.
Let the future do its job and we'll see if GO can handle all its promises.
