Dropbox: Python => Go Lang, Open Source

Dropbox Tech Blog » Blog Archive » Open Sourcing Our Go Libraries:

(python code moved to) around 200,000 lines of Go code; Open Sourced libraries:

• caching: provides a general abstraction for building caching layers.
• errors: enhances the standard error interface and exposes stack trace information.
• database/sqlbuilder: allows developers to generate sql statements programmatically.
• memcache: implements a fully featured memcache client library which supports connection pooling and flexible sharding.
• net2: adds functionality for connection management.
• (and my personal favorite, hash2, which includes a space efficient permutation-based consistent hash algorithm)
