Recommendations for a Gophercon Talk Proposal

I'm working on a proposal titled 'Building a Web Startup in Go'. It will be about based on my experience at building https://localraces.com from scratch by myself in all Go. There is a little JavaScript, but only when required. Given that title what would you like for me to talk about? Consider this like an AMA, but if the question or answer is really good I'm going to use it in my proposal...

Ask HN: What is your favorite Airbnd story?

I'm in Denver for Gophercon and used Airbnb. I have a funny story about attending the first part of day 2 in my pajamas. I'll post it somewhere after I get back home and have time to get a site up. The story is so good it needs its own website.

Is this guy real? I'm not sure. I'm 50/50. I can argue a great case of both sides. Also, which is better? Somebody like him or somebody that would waste time putting up those reviews.

One for home and one for work. I've been using them for years. I tried the 4000, but I didn't like the feel of the space bar which is the key you use the most by far.

Re:Ask HN: What programming language is Watson written in? on Wednesday February 23, 2011 @05:18PM (#2256073)
Watson was written in mostly Java but also significant chunks of code are written C++ and Prolog, all components are deployed and integrated using UIMA.

Ask HN: What programming language is Watson written in?

I am very curious about what programming language was used to write the Watson software that IBM used to play Jeopardy. There is a screen of code at 1:49 in this, http://www-943.ibm.com/innovation/us/watson/what-is-watson/a-system-designed-for-answers.html video, but I couldn't make out the language and it could just be a filler. Has anybody seen anywhere it was mentioned?
