OT: I'm a Go noob and I was wondering if there's something like requirements.txt for Go projects? Or is this usually the way to go? go get -u golang.org/x/crypto/ssh go get -u github.com/dlintw/goconf go get -u github.com/golang/glog go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go} go get -u github.com/miekg/dns
go get -u github.com/google/seesaw/...
I don't want to digress too much from the main discussion, but what are the main reasons people use Go? What are the main use cases for Go? Just looking for a new programming language to learn for some of the next web apps I'll be building.
The first is difficult for a lot of the commonly used languages, the second is hard for Python, Ruby, etc, the third is hard for C, C++, etc.
One downside (although some consider it an upside by design) is that it can be a bit more verbose than other languages since there is rarely any "magic". You can usually read any Go code and be pretty confident at what it does, because it doesn't allow you to hide complexity. This does tend to make the code more verbode.
I highly recommend taking the interactive Go Tour at https://tour.golang.org/welcome/1 because it will show you everything you need to get a high-level overview of Go's power.

I've worked for CDNs and configured many VPNs but I have never heard of a VDN. What is a VDN? I don't recall hearing this term in the early 2000's either. Is that a Google internal name? Could you elaborate? Thanks.
Based on the rest of the commend, VDN = video distribution network. I think the 'VPN' is a typo and should be another 'VDN'

Excellent concurrency, blazingly fast and memory-safe.

Thanks for the response. I've been trying to decide between Go and Elixir as my next new language. Both languages sound like they have great features.
