In my case at least, this article spawned a little personal research that has me now giving Go a serious try. With all of the new-ish languages and databases popping up, it can be difficult to choose which ones to try for a new project, or seek solutions for a new problem.

There is something in the initial life of a new technology that determines if the adoption rate will result in success or failure, where failure is abandonment and an end to development. If this sort of interest keeps Go going, then maybe some repetition is a good thing.
