> When the app was written in Go

Did you rewrite it to something else?

Yes we did. But the rewrite was not because of this issue.

Out of curiosity...which language did you choose and why? How did it turn out?

They wrote it in PHP4 and it currently routes 2/3 of the internet.

We chose C++. For our particular domain, most libraries were written in C++. Previously we used a lot of cgo and SWIG.
