That is why I seldom buy into hype driven development.
Okay, so Docker is hype? Have you seen the impact of it? Every
Java magazine has articles about Docker. And that is not
because Java people had an interest in it, because it is
written in Go. It is because of its business value.
Have a look at all the job offers for Go developers here:
http://www.golangprojects.com. All those jobs are the result of
some hype.
This is very definition of hype. Yes, Go is hugely overblown and
it has nothing to do with any of its technical features. Only
business value Go truly has is simplicity and even that doesn't
matter in practice.
Please stop pretending technical features have any major impact
on popularity.
