WOW thanks! I actually downloaded go the very first week it was out, and used it in a benchmarking test for school where I tested different aspects of it against C,Java,Python,Perl
At the time, I thought it was a great language to work with but felt that it needed work. I/O was REALLY slow in that first version. I knew that it would gain popularity someday and would be something I'd be interested in really learning.
So, only recently I've noticed it more and more in the mainstream. I noticed yesterday that www.bankofamerica.com is written with it too. So as recently as yesterday I downloaded the new 1.5 version of it and planned on picking up a tutorial this weekend.
