| >The fact that you are getting so many "erhm, I don't think so" probably indicates that it wasn't a good comment that promotes discussion. Well, that's because they haven't been following the discussion, on HN and on startup circles, going on for a while. For one, Go creators' themselves said they expected Go to attract more C++/Java people, but instead they got more Python/Ruby people. And that's like 2 years ago. For the past year or so, there have been numerous posts about how this or that project/startup switched from Ruby/Python to Go. Last 2 weeks alone there have been around 5 such posts on the front page of Hacker News (Digital Ocean being the latest). Go is getting increasingly used by people that were doing infastructure/backend work in Python/Ruby etc, e.g people using stuff like Twisted and Tornado, JSON services, etc. >That is why I asked you why it was better, even thought you already answered it 3 times, because it was another chance to explain why it was better. Well, I guess he pre-supposed people are already familiar with all the "we rewrote our system in Go and we now have X times better performance, no more gimmicks to get async, etc". |
