Been playing with the weekly versions of Go for a couple weeks now. Highly enjoying it, my biggest pet peeve was that every library had a master and "weekly" branch which required me to manually pull down the weekly. Shouldn't be long and I can move to master!

Congrats to the Go team! I've been looking forward to this release for a while. Go makes it easy to do some very complex things, and much of this can be attributed to the wonderfully built standard library.

For those interested, you can run Go apps on Heroku using this buildpack: https://github.com/kr/heroku-buildpack-go

Note: you may need to use the #rc branch until its changes are merged in master

I'm still wishing that we could embed Go into a multithreaded c application, just like we can with the JVM and Mono. I would like to use Go as a "scripting" language. I have seen a thread in the mailing list that someone was working on it on a personal basis, but I can't find it anymore. It doesn't seem to be in high demand.

Doesn't go tool handles that automatically (i.e. checks out the most recent tag compatible with the current Go version)?

This is great news. The best part of it for me is that now my more conservative colleagues might dip their toes in the water. Combine that with the Vitess project and Go is not just a great language. It's viable.
