But I would argue that most people who use Go, use it to write user-facing server apps, or at least server apps in which response time is an important metric. I don't know anybody who uses Go to primarily write batch jobs where throughput matters more than latency.


Yeah, but that's circular - if you did want to write a high performance batch job, maybe you wouldn't use Go because of the GC.

And hi by the way ;)
