So the news I offer today, I was talking to someone about LINK, and long story short the main reason Sergey has been so absent lately is because of the upgrade to Go. It was totally unexpected and is a serious curveball for him. It's really putting a big delay on everything. So now you're wondering, 'Why upgrade to go?' and the reason lies in Native Client, a Google sandbox that ChainLink hopes to incorporate into their product. I am not a CS guy so I don't know how exactly Google sandbox works, you can read about it here:

Anyways the rumour is Google in general is slowly pushing forward an entire ecosystem around data APIs in the future, basically Google wants to monopolise data and they see this potential ecosystem as the next 'evolutionary step' in the Google platform. Think of like GPS, weather, transporation, space etc all at a military level of precision. Go somehow ties into all this, again not a CS guy so Go might not be suitable necessarily for the actual analysis of this data, but it is important.
