how are you liking go? one of Amy's colleagues wrote some glue code for her in go, so I had to get that working, but I haven't really looked at it past that....

I haven't done too much with Go yet, but I plan to hack around with it a bit. Our core product (juju) is written in Go, and there's some bits of functionality I'd like to see working, so that's enough of a reason to give it a spin.

Juju's a 'cloud orchestration' kit, usable against just about any cloud provider. From my local laptop, I can spin up and monitor a cluster of web servers. Takes me two minutes, and it does all the hard work of provisioning the right instances, bootstrapping the machines and installing the services I want.

very nifty :)

hmm.

starting to appreciate the cloud a little (although not the $ involved). but the scale problems being solved...and the right sorts of redundancies...yes.
