Lol, I’m gonna get so much shit if certain people see that tweet.
I actually don’t like Go that much… or really at all. It doesn’t really address any of the problems that I have with other languages. It’s nice they put so much effort into their stdlib (standard library), but the npm ecosystem completely crushes it in my opinion.
Also, the argument that something being in a stdlib is somehow better than having installable libraries is not interesting.
I don’t know that Go’s adoption has been very slow. Languages don’t get adopted overnight, it takes years and years before most people even start to take notice. I think Go is doing fine for itself.
