This is patently absurd. It's mind boggling that people still hop on here and declare how something is "amazing" or "horrible" for a particular problem-set as fact.

You want my anecdote? Go is brilliant for web services. We've decreased server costs significantly while decreasing response times by orders of magnitude for write-heavy APIs. Concurrency primitives that do bleed into parallelism have made a mockery of interpreted dynamic languages.

But don't believe me. Ask Cloudflare, or Google, or Dropbox, or any other number of companies how horrible Go has been.

But just for shits and grins, I'll bet it'd take me moments to find people in situations where Go didn't meet their needs or domain requirements.

Please stop with the absolutes. They're absolutely ridiculous.



What is the point of your comment? Your doing the same thing your telling people not to do. You're not even disagreeing with the previous post which essentially states the same things you do. The only thing your comment tells me is that which developers you work with are far more important than the language itself.
