Similarly I used to have an issue with the number of projects submitted to /r/golang that are “a whatever server written in go”. If I wanted to see a new whatever server I would be looking elsewhere and wouldn’t particularly care what language it’s implemented with.

Nowadays I’ve come around to appreciating the opportunity to see what other gophers are doing. I usually skip over those posts but occasionally I look at the code and learn something new.

Even when I’m dealing with compiles binaries, I slightly prefer something written in a language I’m familiar with just so there’s a better chance I will be able to diagnose any bugs I encounter.
