I'm glad to read that. May I ask what technology did you guys use?
SockJS' Python implementation works well (well, I haven't deployed yet...), but the Go port isn't that mature IIRC.
Worked or did you mean it works? If you meant worked can you further expand on why it no longer works well today?
The Go runtime is still being optimized. For instance we found that the upgrade to Go 1.2 made a big difference for some of our performance tests. So it's nice to get surprises like that but also shows that the ecosystem is still young.
