I've been looking for a project to work on, and to properly learn a language that feels like there's a point to me doing it, rather than learning it for the sake of learning it.
As such, if I want to help out and contribute to the project in future, does this mean that I should therefore be looking to get myself up to speed with Go?
Yes, but I would recommend Go anyway. Most of the startups I know in London and San Francisco are either using Go or looking at it. It would make you very employable.
