I personally believe every programmer should feel comfortable using one interpreted language and one compiled language. That said, what are the thoughts from the community on Google's golang vs C++ or Java?
Is go a decent choice? Have you used it?

I really like go for a lot of tasks most programmers need to tackle and is the easiest to become proficient in

Go is clean and simple. I'm a former C++ & Java programmer and only use Go now as my first-choice compiled language.
My interpreted language choice is Python. Python has excellent library support, so I use it for things where there is no Go library available.

Yeah -- the JVM does make JAVA extremely portable to different architectures. Probably one of its biggest strengths. The only issues I've ever come across with Java is garbage collection issues (Stop the World, etc.)

C/C++ is great with Python due to the excellent bindings with #cython. Java is probably the complied language I use the most, however, due to its role in the Hadoop ecosystem. Go is good as well.

Loving Cython so far. Opens up speed and all the python niceties
