The most fascinating part of this article to me is getting the perspective of two southeast Asians on language popularity. Also interesting to learn that golang.org is blocked by the Great Firewall.

Golang is probably hosted on blogspot, google.plus, or app engine, which are all blocked by the GFW. Call it collateral damage.

This site[1] seems to indicate that golang.org is reachable from within China, but I have no clue how trustworthy or representative it is.
