Do you want to work with Go?

What's this blog post about?

CloudFlare has adopted Go for some production systems due to its high-performance and concurrency capabilities. The company's package library provides the necessary tools for writing efficient programs quickly. As a result, Go has become an important part of CloudFlare Engineering, leading them to actively hire people with knowledge or interest in learning Go. They are planning to open source some of their Go programs and are seeking more individuals to contribute to their Go code base. Some of the projects currently using Go include PKI tools, Railgun web optimizer, a high-performance DNS server, and a curl-like tool for SPDY. CloudFlare has also hosted the GoSF meetup in the past.
