For those that haven’t heard of go-colly before, it’s a scraping platform written in, yup you guessed it, go. See: http://go-colly.org/

Here’s an example we can all relate to: http://go-colly.org/docs/examples/hackernews_comments/

Why not Scrapy[0]? Just curious if there's any fundamental limitations I'm not aware of. A reasonably reason for the existence of Colly would be that people wanted something written in Go :)

Not the owner - just wondered what the project was & figured I wouldn't be the only one to query it, seeing as we get linked to the release notes.

Personally I would pick Scrapy too, but it's good to have competition, and Colly looks like a nice addition to the family.
