> Why do people keep adopting this language? Where's the appeal? There're many aspects to consider when evaluating a tool. To me, Go has one of the best overall packages: - std lib
- tooling
- performance
- concurrency
- relatively easy to get devs
- reliable
- mature Also, Go has no substantial drawback. I personally consider an external runtime a drawback, for example. I also use Rust personally. This discussion shows the value of Rust in terms of correctness. But for my professional projects Rust lacks the ecosystem guarantees that Go has with its great and useful standard lib. Looking at the Cargo dependencies of a mid size Rust web service is scary and reminds me of NPM. A large fraction of essential libs are maintained by a single person. Or unfortunately unmaintained. Rust with Go's std lib would be truly great. |
