Ask HN: How does Google uses the Go Programming Language?
How does google use the go programming language? Is there any other organisation or startup using Go for any considerable software? Can I expect a large growth of the language, in terms of industry in 5 years?

Google open sourced vitess for scaling out and coordinating (sharding + replication, schema rollouts) mysql databases, it seems they use it internally: http://code.google.com/p/vitess/
P.S. Other organizations using Go: http://go-lang.cat-v.org/organizations-using-go
PS your ps is a great link... Is it complete?
- programmers create new open source libraries for Go; - language got 1.0 version so it can be considered by enterprises for production; - programmers write articles about it so we have some buzz around it; - community grows with a set of books about Go.
So I think the overall popularity will grow.
It would be nice for Golang site to have some section about "companies using Go...".
