Ask HN: How does Google uses the Go Programming Language?
How does google use the go programming language? Is there any other organisation or startup using Go for any considerable software? Can I expect a large growth of the language, in terms of industry in 5 years?

For instance the golang.org website is running on Go: http://golang.org/doc/go_faq.html#Is_Google_using_go_interna...
Google open sourced vitess for scaling out and coordinating (sharding + replication, schema rollouts) mysql databases, it seems they use it internally: http://code.google.com/p/vitess/
P.S. Other organizations using Go: http://go-lang.cat-v.org/organizations-using-go

Good to hear that. Vitess seems quite large.
I think, maybe, they use it for other large internal stuff too.
PS your ps is a great link... Is it complete?

I believe yes.
- programmers create new open source libraries for Go; - language got 1.0 version so it can be considered by enterprises for production; - programmers write articles about it so we have some buzz around it; - community grows with a set of books about Go.
So I think the overall popularity will grow.
It would be nice for Golang site to have some section about "companies using Go...".

Yeah, I would like to see that section(like python's site has!)..
cloudflare.com uses go in production. http://blog.cloudflare.com/go-at-cloudflare
This is just the first of many projects CloudFlare has in the works being built with Go and is looking for more developers interested in Go.
