The game allows you to sync your game progress across multiple devices and it's subscription based so a CDN wouldn't do much help there.

Also, realtime multiplayer crosswords are coming! I'll be speaking at GothamGo this year about that exact topic.

We've been using Go in production on our proprietary email platform for a couple years now for daemon services, web APIs and EMR jobs[1]. A few other teams have also picked up the language and are building out new systems to support comments, mobile and I think a maybe a few other pieces of the site.

Go is definitely not our only tool in the box and many teams (including mine) still use Python, C++ or whatever works best for the job at hand, but I think there definitely is a trend of Go being the choice for a lot of new server side systems.
