Go does have good libraries for networking and support for REST,
WS, messaging systems, bindings to other messaging systems, and
all that stuff. I remember that even Walter or Andrei
acknowledged that themselves somewhere in a post in this forum.
To me Go is too simplistic. Everytime I try to like it I can't
resist to say "No, I can't continue with this. It's just too
minimalistic.". But they have a true selling point which is
developing server side software and they have the batteries
included for that.
What I'm saying is that being good at everything is good, but
only a true selling point would receive people's attention.
That's the way it is. Making D fit for server side development is
a suggestion of mine. It seems to me something that has traction
and will continue to have so unless the Internet dies a sudden
death. There might be other even better ideas what could be
selling points, but continuing with being good at everything and
hoping that one day a big spender will come along might in the
end not work out and result in a great loss of time. I don't want
to appear harsh. It only seems to me that I wasn't able to bring
my point across.
