Thanks for pointing that out. The static routes in the talk are just for illustration -- we use nginx to serve them in production.

One thing I haven't touched on at all is html template rendering, something I'd like to take a look at in detail at some point.

Would like to hear more about your experience with Go -- is there a writeup somewhere?

Despite the overall ecosystem being rather small, the standard library and adjoining experimental packages are excellent. I wouldn't be surprised if go 1.2's stdlib would cover most of what Python's stdlib and Twisted can do.

> My experience has been pretty similar: Go is perfect for building high performance APIs.

Like any native compiled language, it is just a matter of having the right set of libraries available.

same :)

High compared to what?

It's just the output of

    wc -l `find microcosm/ -name *.go`

so is really just a rough indication of the size of the project.

It is high. Probably includes code site,docs etc.
