Many don't, otherwise they would not do stuff like using Python for performance workloads. Lets also not forget Rob Pike famous quote regarding simple minds, as target audience. As for Go, Kubernetes made it unavoidable, it is like UNIX for C, Web for JavaScript, and so forth. | ||

> Many don't, otherwise they would not do stuff like using Python for performance workloads. While you fairly point out that many fall into Python because they learned about it in school and never bother to look beyond, Go has had no such equivalent. For you to choose it, you have to actively seek it out, where you are going to also see all the other programming languages you could also choose. > As for Go, Kubernetes made it unavoidable, it is like UNIX for C, Web for JavaScript, and so forth. UNIX's programming interface is a set of C functions. You are right that C is the path of least resistance to use it. The web's programming interface is Javascript. You are right that Javascript is the path of least resistance to use it. Kubernetes' programming interface is a "REST API" – or your program running inside a container, if you want to look at it from the other direction. In what way is Go the path of least resistance to use it? | ||
