Thank you Ali!

I was reluctant about Go in the beginning because I'm not in love with its syntax (but I'm starting to like it) and its concurrency model (though it's winning me over :D) but I still plan to build something with it and as you said is not that hard to pick up (though I don't have your C++ experience)

My biggest concern is that I don't know if I can introduce it into the client's stack, even if I'm the only developer for this or that service it's a little bit easier to find Python / Ruby devs than Go ones. It's a pity because for services that are not super IO-bound Go would be perfect :-)

A side note: I stopped using curl and started using httpie, my brain is thanking me :D
