Starting a new project which now it's almost half way. It's basically a rewrite of a project I did some time ago for a Google Drive sync client.
The old project is fully functional but written in Javascript and not intended for low-end devices. Also some issues with memory management with V8's garbage collector (reading a big file takes much memory which is't freed) led me to think about using other lang.
Golang was the chosen one (although it has a Garbage Collector) after some tests trying to reproduce the same issue affecting V8.
