Get Your Development Team Started With Go

DigitalOcean has found Go to be a favorite programming language, thanks to its growing package landscape and robust standard library. While locating high-quality packages can still be a challenge, the team relies on word of mouth, social channels, and custom solutions like `go-tigertonic` and `testify`. To avoid becoming dependent on external packages, they use Go's interfaces to create their own wrappers, insulating their applications from imported package types. The team has settled on using `godep` to manage dependencies, but acknowledges its limitations. They also appreciate the language's productivity features, such as code completion and formatting tools like `GoSublime` and `Vim Go`, which enhance development experience. With its speed of development, concurrency capabilities, and growing community support, DigitalOcean is recommending Go for teams looking to build distributed systems.
