Go 1.0 is released in March 2012 so it is not even half decade old.

You know Go existed before 1.0, right?
The question was about adoption curves, and i think version number is a signalling factor in adoption.

Pre-1.0 version number would certainly hamper adoption in my $DAYJOB.

By that logic, Elixir is not even two years old!

Edit: karma_vaccum123 has greatly edited the gp comment but for the record, Google has been using golang since 2007.

Find me one reference for Go in "use" at Google in 2007. The wikipedia page does not make this claim, it is only stated that this is when Go itself was being created.
