There is certainly an element of "Google invented and use this, I must as well" so nil effort marketing has caught many. On the other hand there are many, cf. CloudFlare, for example, that have created a real sane use of Go as fundamentally a strongly typed checked simplified C with a form of CSP. The removal of shared memory multi-threading in favour of using processes and channels should never be underestimated as a Really Good Thing™ that other native code languages (*) have failed to do anything about. Thus Go wins, others lose. (*) JVM languages have GPars. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
