DigitalOcean droplet console rewritten in Go

We (<a href="https://commando.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;commando.io</a>) are seriously considering switching to Go for all of our SSH connections. The built in concurrency, bundled with great websocket support, and SSH officially supported as a library (<a href="https://godoc.org/code.google.com/p/go.crypto/ssh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;godoc.org&#x2F;code.google.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;go.crypto&#x2F;ssh</a>) all make it a perfect candidate.

&quot;Go’s built in net&#x2F;http package means we are able to do live deploys and keep on-going development invisible to users.&quot;<p>Why is that?

Wish it was open source...could use a better VNC console for what we do at my work.

Why is that every large company at-last rewrites their codebase in statically typed language. This makes the newcomers confuse which language one should learn seeing their inspiration change their official language. Is the fate of scripting languages are same in every aspect of programming? Are they really only suitable for rapid prototyping?

Are there any recent Go books that HN would recommend? Everything I see is from 2012 but I&#x27;d really like something from 2014 simply because I presume as an uninitiate that the platform is moving quickly.

What was it formerly written in?

for anyone who might need a cloud IDE for their DO droplets, I did a short blog post for installing HiveMind(crudzilla.com, I am the dev.):<p><a href="http://blog.crudzilla.com/2014/04/hivemind-on-digital-ocean-droplet.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.crudzilla.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;04&#x2F;hivemind-on-digital-ocean-...</a>
