To be honest, I kinda don't like Scala, its too much to grok. I always believe language is something not worth fighting for, but solutions are. (I'm aware, it's just about me, YMMV).
When you make a statement like "the only sane choice", people tend to expect actual reasoning behind it. Your post would have been more accurate as just "I like go".

As someone who is also really enjoying Go, I think you need to add a huge, gigantic disclaimer before making a statement like this: Go's ecosystem of web development packages is in its infancy. You're not going to find any super-well-documented, super mature/stable web frameworks (thought a few are showing great promise). and some of the individual components (for example, Gorilla) are looking very good, but still ha…
I've read about the limitation of Go in terms of third party libs, but I believe it is only temporary. I had a glance at the std libs, looks really good for a new language. Our new app doesn't require all the bells and whistles of a full fledged framework.
Must not be looking on github... Yes its new, but in a majority of cases I have not had any trouble finding third party libraries and the std ones are wide and excellent.
It's very depressing to see Symfony2 at the bottom of these lists. Although there are quite a few performance optimizations that can be done to improve this, there are few excuses for such poor performance by default.

That's why I mentioned "seems to be the only sane choice" :)
I asked for this before. Could you please add error bars to your plots?

Not sure why this is downvoted so badly, the comment is largely correct. This benchmark is even less useful than alioth's shootout, I'm not sure why there is so much effort put into it :)
The comment is largely the authors opinion, it can be neither correct nor incorrect. It is very possible that what he feels is important and unimportant does not generalize to everyone else.
The Go code size is pretty small, in fact it might be smaller than the Rails code... I'm still trying to find all the Ruby files, Go is in one file...

For many systems performance matters. Claiming that there is no difference between Ruby and C is just sticking your head in the sand.

>Off all the top performers, Go seems to be the only sane choice to write a web app How so? There's Clojure, Scala and others perfectly good choices on the list. The max latency for Go is also very high compared to most others.
When you have a choice of Simple vs Complex (not complicate), Native vs Virtual but comparable in terms of maturity and expressiveness, which one you pick, honestly?
