Micha Hernandez van Leuffen @miesPieter Joost van de Sande @pjvds
WE’RE BUILDING AN INTEGRAL PLATFORM FOR HOW SOFTWARE GETS DELIVERED TO THE INTERNET AND THE CLOUD
“”
Pitch
Wercker is a collaborative continuous delivery platform that helps developers reduce risk and eliminate waste in their software development process by enabling them to test and deploy their code often in a hassle-free way.
Excitement!

Challenges at wercker
✓ We are building a mission critical system
✓ We have the need to scale
✓ When we fail we want to recover and continue
✓ We do dive system level deep
Design goals of Go
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!
✓ Compilations efficiency
✓ Statically typed
✓ Feels dynamically typed
✓ Compiles to machine code
✓ Single deploy unit
✓ Used by other companies in our space
Installing and setupHow we got convinced, excited and disappointed
Installing Go
We needed an editor
GOSUBLIME
✓ Syntax highlighting
✓ Go format on file save
✓ Sublime build system integration
✓ Compiles to machine code
✓ Quickly jump to error reported code
✓ Go to definition
