>Go is a phenomenal language and I'm not really sure where I'd be without it, my company basically wouldn't exist, I wouldn't be solving the problems I am.
I don't want this to come across as negative but I really don't get this. Can you expand upon this if you don't mind?
What is it about Go specifically that you make claims like that? Realistically couldn't you have done everything you did in Go, in say Java or something else? (I make this as a general comment, I am not aware of the things you have actually written in Go :) )
No. Without the existence of Go, I would not have gotten my last job, we would not have built the platform we did, I would not have seen the opportunity and ability to build such a business. It's all a chain of events that occur because a technology exists that enables it. If Go didn't exist my path would be very different.
