		scarface74 on Sept 24, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: On Go, Portability, and System Interfaces (2015) The only Go apps that I’ve knowingly used are from Hashicorp - Nomad, Consul and Vault and they were all running on Windows. I found it quite refreshing that the “install” process was copying one relatively small executable. That being said, Terraform is quite popular and I would think that it’s used by Windows admins/devops locally.

You've also probably used docker, which is written in Go.

Never used Docker. That was the advantage of using Nomad. It can orchestrate anything - Docker containers, executables, Shell scripts, etc.

I mean, afaict nomad uses docker to orchestrate docker containers...
