This is exciting. I've used Go-CI (that's what I'm calling it) before and it's a very cool product for pipelining. Kudos to TW for open-sourcing it. Time to get the plugins rolling!
The build pipeline view for Go is great, but it lacks in extensibility and a rich plugin community (unlike jenkins).<p>Hopefully this will all change with it now being open source...
I'm curious why this is a Java/JRuby on Rails project and not natively written in Go itself. Does anyone have some insight here? Is it that the project requirements themselves lean towards Rails tooling? I'm sure I'm not the only one surprised by this.<p>EDIT: Ah, I'm not the smartest cookie in the jar. It, in fact, has nothing to do with Golang. I agree with the poster below who mentions this criticism.
Yes! We are using it & loving it! Here's our experience with Go: <a href="https://medium.com/technology-cvsintellect/423519a24a33" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/technology-cvsintellect/423519a24a33</a>
If you want to try it out painlessly, I've written a post [0] and implemented Vagrant playground where you can experiment with go.

The pipeline features of gocd seems very nice. However, last time I looked at gocd it did not support feature branches. As far as I could tell, it was not due to technical reasons but rather due to the whole feature branch vs continuous integration philosophy differences.<p>Any idea whether feature branch support will be added in the future?
This is amazing. Go is a great CI/CD server and I'm happy that it is now open source.<p>Jenkins is a good CI ecosystem that lacks a good UI and a good API. Wonder how Go stacks up on the API and Plugins front with Jenkins.
side note: an interesting build tool that i've been using for past couple of years is Quickbuild - <a href="http://www.pmease.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pmease.com/</a>. take a look if you've got a lot of build configurations could be streamlined by using inheritance.
