My favourite lines from that website.

_COMING SOON: ACTIVEGO - THE WORLD'S BEST GO DISTRIBUTION_

     Maybe it should read "...The World's Best Commercial Support of a Go 
Distribution"

_Why take risks with open source Go and community support?_ 

     LoL.  "Hey guys, could you help us build our for-profit business so 
that we can reinforce the idea that open source and its community sucks?"


Actually, I see nothing wrong with offering commercial support for open 
source software. It's often the right choice for business entities to have 
readily available support with SLAs in place.  I just think it's 
hypocritical to be selling support for Go to your customers, while looking 
for support from they very community that your marketing claims is risky.

I'm not really up on Activestate's involvement with Go, but have they 
contributed to the development or promotion of Go in any significant way?
