Booo, what's up with the negativity? :)
I would love to see more of these stories but not just for Go, pretty much for anything under the sun, especially "old and boring" languages and technologies. I want to know in which situations people still choose C++ or even C for new projects today, I want to see who's using Pascal (and what for?), I want to see if anyone is dumping, say, Postgres in favor for Oracle.
At my previous job (Rackspace) I had the awesome unexpected benefit of sitting on sales calls with our enterprise team, listening to what well-known tech companies are doing "under the hood" and what problems they're facing and what solutions they're considering. On a number of occasions I've heard folks say "this is super, you should blog about it", so I say: the more the better!
It's just another opportunity to learn, not about "fluffing"
