Likewise. I use for set and forget services. Once a Go application has been properly tested it runs quietly like a mainframe in the corner of a datacenter.
Same experience here. Writing tiny, focused, small footprint services with Go has been a blast. It really has its niche. Especially since learning to write (and read) Go is a matter of hours, more than days (or even weeks).
I have been running multiple programs on my DO vps, my uptime is 305 days. 1 program was updated in Feb to accommodate an API change another was updated in Dec 2014.
It's amazing how good they perform with minimal memory usage.
