As a Go developer, I'm curious. Why is it that whenever a project built in Go is submitted to HN, the title mentions that it's built in Go? What makes the language special that it's worth mentioning?
Many people on this site care about the language, so why should we not include it? People who dislike the Y ecosystem are free to ignore it, and people who have been looking for an X implementation save some brain cycles figuring out what it's written in.
Personally I think more articles should include this. I'm always disappointed when a cool-sounding project is written in Node..
1. Cool, it'll run anywhere i need it to (presumably) without dependencies.
2. Cool, I love that language, I wonder how they did it.
For many other languages, the checkbox for 2 will be ticked as well though.
