The Real Reason why Go is not so Popular

Youre completely wrong its not statically typed enough im in a abusive relation ship with the borrowchecker the rust compiler is my daddy also the naming conventions in go just suck xyz.something/something isnt a package name its a url and the fact its not even necessaryly where the package makes it all that worse gopls is not great either

I love python. After 4-5 months of learning go, I loved that too.
When i need efficiency, i use go. For big projects, i use python. Both are very good & easy language. Both has different use cases

Go it just really a boring language. That's a good thing, as it means easy transitions and little surprises. It's a very good tool. On the other hand, there is nothing to make one really super-excited, like Rust or Haskell or Clojure does.

Python legacy systems? Python got a boost from AI/ML, and it was primarily a modeler before you ported to C++ (but now it's production) Simple answer Go, C++, and C are harder so developers are more apt for JavaScript like coding. But all backbone and infrastructure will stay on the afore mentioned

Everyone loves static types. Only noobs don't, which is understandable.

Stop it. We do not need another programming language.
Stop fatiguing the developers with this endless "learn this, learn that"... ENOUGH!

This is absolutely untrue 😢 Bro ..😂😂😂

So they made the language but no tools around it. It also tries to tell you it's a full language, but doesn't convince you in the slightest You can sense that Go is bit of a prison system.
What problem did Go solve by existing? People didn't like Java, C++ and Python is too weak, so Go is supposed to be all of this?

It appears to me it's a simplified C/C++ language. I strongly suspect that Google, like many other companies, went for wokists and foreign workers instead of supporting a national system of quality developers who do not fear programming languages. It's all about the money. Don't forget that there was a business plan behind de development of Go.

this is extremely bad information

No true dev doesn’t like statically typed lang

JavaScript propaganda

Golang doesn't work out of the box. Compiling a project with different files is pain in the ass compared to other languages. And the package system (cannot refer to eachother) and the unused variable error are just annoying. It should be an option

Go (or any other language for that matter) isn't so popular because the other languages don't suck so much as the internet would want you to believe. And 15 years is actually a long time, so don't get your hopes up.

I know exacly why. I've been through my share of communities, and the Go community is up there with some of the tougher crowds for new developers. I love the language, but it doesn't seem as approachable as say Flutter. The other day I looked for the Go YT channel, and couldn't find it. Meanwhile every week I get to livestream with professional Flutter devs on YT.

I see way more videos about Flutter/Dart than I go Go. It's not popular because it's more of a closed group, more along the lines of Red/Rebol. You have an easy to use language, but getting support for the harder issues can be tough to find.

The community also seems to only push it for low level microservices, and ignores other projects for desktop and mobile. Al you hear is "Docker" and "Kubernettes."

Year u like and prefer Python. Good news, u can.
But don't tell it's, the rise of Python came with Big data, untill then scripting languages.lik3 rub, perl and python were on the downside.

>made by Google
first red flag

Bro if developers don't like statically typed languages, why is typescript so popular?

Go is a hyper focused programming language, and it’s being focusing on that since 2009, so popularity rise to wouldn’t be that high

Honestly it's quicker to get golang jobs since the competition is less hence they'll hire you even if ure an entry dev.

Dart language is more successful than GO. Both developed by Google. I Hope Google will back Dart for the backend.
