>Meanwhile system software will continues to be built in C and C++ since Go addressed some real problems with system programming but created new ones.
Many new system projects at Google are using Go over C and the trend is such that more and more new projects are using it.
There are currently three public projects.
- dl.google.com
- vitess
- Google App Engine, that used to be maintained by someone on the Go team not the Google App Engine team, if the Google IO information is still valid.
Chrome is focusing on Dart support and Android team was very explicit at Google IO about Java being what really matters.
So any other very successful Go projects at Google that can be shared?
EDIT: For those that bothered to provide answers. Thanks.
- Kubernetes (http://venturebeat.com/2014/07/10/google-kubernetes-microsof...)
- Various projects at github.com/google

youtube.com
Most of the places it is used are not public facing stuff they are low level network systems which is what it was designed to be good at.
vitess is youtube. Are there others youtube related?
>Go isn't very successful at Google
Go is used heavily for networking and server stuff at Google. The entirety of dl.google.com runs on go (ported from C).
