It depends on a project. But projects I have been doing in my whole career

very rarely can be written in a single language. You may need to access a

backend with say SQL. You may need to write _javascript_ for the UI (and

Go btw, is not particularly good choice for GUIs).

If you are writing networking servers / clients, Go might be one of the better

choices, but you hardly can "go" with a single language in any more complex

project. Bu you could just grab say OpenResty and write your networking server

with Lua (leveraging all the hard work and configurability done by Nginx team).
