But go tooling is bad. Like, really really bad.

Sure it's good compared to like... C++. Is go actually competing with C++? From where I'm standing, no.

But compared to what you might actually use Go for... The tooling is bad. PHP has better tooling, dotnet has better tooling, Java has better tooling.

Go was a response, in part, to C++, if I recall how it was described when it was introduced. That doesn't seem to be how it ended it out. Maybe it was that "systems programming language" means something different for different people.

Go tooling is among the best out there. You ever see npm?

Go tooling is fine.

		Again, compared to languages that you probably shouldn't be contorting to make a web backend in, sure. Its better than C++ and JS (npm). Compared to incumbents like dotnet and PHP? Uhh, no. The tooling is very far behind and cumbersome in comparison.
