On your first point, you're assuming that you know his requirements (or that his requirements weren't just to learn and have fun). I'm a lot more interested in hearing from people who handle 10K req/sec on 4 cores versus those handling 100K req/sec with 1000 cores.

The way Go makes "publishing to GitHub" and "public distribution" so similar is resulting in a lot of packages up on GitHub where it's not clear to me whether they're just there, or if the author just wants to show it off, or if the author really seriously thinks people should use this, or what. I'm developing an eye twitch in reaction to "A fast, simple, powerful library to do X" showing up on /r/golang. Especially when X is one of the things we have a ton of because they aren't that hard to write in the first place. And especially when no evidence is particularly provided for any of the adjectives, except that the author really hopes they're true.

thanks for the positive comment !
