Go port

[Patrick Hetu]

Hey Marcos,

I remember myself having the same reaction when I first learned about the
Go port. So, I've checked the language and
I've played with it (It's really easy on the golang.org website) to finally
feel that porting juju or at less give Go a try
makes sense.

First, the concurrency paradigm is in the core of the language. Twisted
have is strength but sometimes
using callbacks makes you code not be as straight forward and readable as
you would like. I've work on the Juju REST API
and trust me Go is really a better fit for that kind of job. Also, Go is
still a young language but if the trend of scaling
applications by distributing specialized daemons on a lot of
small machines continues; languages like Go will make a
lot of sense.

Any way, I really think you should check it out also I'm not a juju or
juju-core developer and that's just my personal thoughts,
they may have other reasons for choosing Go.

Cheers,

Patrick
