I'm glad to hear it.

Was there anything about the language that you found particularly forced clarity and modularity? I'm giving a talk comparing Go and Ruby next month and I'm curious as to what people with experience with larger Go programs find to be most helpful.

The Go module system for sure. Also I really like Go's interface model (as opposed to Java or C++ classes) as it is more flexible and in some ways more precise. Note that I don't know Ruby so I can't compare Go to that...

Thanks for the article, it was a very interesting read! Since this always comes up in Go discussions: did you miss generics in this project or was the lack of generics a non-issue?

I haven't found that I needed generics so far, though I can see places where they would be useful.
