Google definitely seems to be making a real push with Go - I believe it's just recently hit 1.0 status.

I'd like to see strong contenders for web frameworks in the language, but I think the game is still quite early. There are a few options, but they all seem to be quite immature at this time.

What is the big advantage of go? What would you use it for?

go is very fast(it's aimed at somewhere between C and C++).

it's a systems programming language, you supposedly can do anything. there's some companies already using it like soundcloud. it's awesome for api's because of it's speed.

also, it's a well thought language with many different decisions from common languages, it does not have exceptions and so on. it's an awesome language if you want to expand your mind.

otherwise, i would pick clojure.

What's the great thing about clojure then? I've been hearing a lot about that as well.
