> Dropbox was using Python as a main technology stack not that long ago so I'm not all that surprised they are seeing huge gains using Go They still use Python if you read down the Twitter thread, but I can name so many more. Cloudflare for example. The likely reason you see such a difference is that the languages are suited to different things. Swift for example is all but mandatory for iOS apps, and so this is not adoption but migration. If you're just looking for small freelance projects then I expect Go will be a long time coming, but if you're looking for large infrastructure work you'll find an awful lot of people very interested in Go.
