Go is interesting because it has a cult like following of advocates who spout the same sound bites all the time, yet seem completely oblivious to the larger world out there. Go seems to be in this weird space where it is not particularly suited for anything that its proponents say it is. As a systems programming language it gets a lot of flack for being garbage collected. As a web programming language, it is not ergonomic at all. The process of simply formatting a string is ridiculous compared to the string interpolation of Python or Scala. Furthermore,
if I was a web developer, why would I want to deal with the cognitive overhead of Arrays vs. Slices or pointers? The type system also takes a lot of heat, mainly for generics but that seems like something that is coming soon to the language. Nevertheless, it is sort of telling that Kubernetes decided to implement its own internal type system instead of leveraging the OO paradigm provided by the language. |
