Language comparison are so ridiculously multi-dimensional and my knowledge of Netflix's internal applications are shallow enough I thought specifics would be a waste of time. I see Go in general as a reaction to the overcomplexity of Java/C++ and the performance issues of Python/Ruby. Since Go seems to be popular with people who use Java/Python, and Netflix uses Java/Python, I was curious if Go was on the table. I would hardly call my original post blind advocacy...
