Version numbers are pretty useless these days. I would certainly put a lot more stock in a 1.0 from the Go team than, say, my company. We use version numbers more for marketing than anything else.

Personally, I'm not as worried about reliability as I am roadblocks. Say, for instance, we spend a month moving our framework over to Go. Then we find a problem that is yet unsolved. Either we solve it ourselves at an unknown cost or we have to just ... wait.. until another group solves it while we make payroll in other ways.

I'm lacking any real evidence here, maybe Go doesn't have a library for our Message Queue (not true, just an example). Now we aren't just porting, we're writing a pooling message queue interface that is beyond our pay grade in the language.

Seems a little extreme. Just use it for small, discrete projects. No need to bet the farm.
