Hi, well we use a couple of different things. Scripting languages, C, Lua,
..

A prototype we wanted to build while evaluating D as our next tech stack
foundation.

Yes. We are currently looking into Go as well.

Well, for us it's getting more and more clear, that a decision what to use in
the future will be based on less and less technical aspects.

The interesting thing about Go is, that their main focus is thinking from an
enterprise perspective, not only from a technical one. So, their focus is
getting stuff done, keeping maintainability in big, constantly changing teams
and stripping everything away, that reduces productivity in such an
environment... I don't know about any other language which puts all these
non-technical aspects on the top of the agenda.

Viele Grüsse.
